Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 130
विमानमारुह्य स दिव्यरूपधृक्स तुंबुरुः पार्श्वगतः स्वकांतया । गायन्महेशस्य गुणान्मनोरमाञ्जगाम कैवल्यपदं सनातनम्
vimānamāruhya sa divyarūpadhṛksa tuṃburuḥ pārśvagataḥ svakāṃtayā | gāyanmaheśasya guṇānmanoramāñjagāma kaivalyapadaṃ sanātanam
Dengan menaiki vimāna langit, Tumburu yang bersinar dengan rupa ilahi berangkat dengan kekasihnya di sisi. Sambil melagukan keagungan dan sifat-sifat indah Maheśa (Śiva), beliau mencapai Kaivalya yang abadi—kebebasan rohani terakhir.
