Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 90
ईर्ष्यया सुमहद्दुःखं मोहाद्रक्तस्य जायते । मत्तस्य कुपितस्यैव रागो दोषाय केवलम्
īrṣyayā sumahadduḥkhaṃ mohādraktasya jāyate | mattasya kupitasyaiva rāgo doṣāya kevalam
Daripada iri hati timbul penderitaan yang amat besar bagi orang yang fikirannya diwarnai oleh delusi. Bagi yang mabuk dan yang marah, nafsu menjadi semata-mata cela, tiada lain.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative convention)
Scene: An allegorical tableau: a person tormented by a serpent-like Jealousy coiling around the heart; nearby, figures of Intoxication and Anger fan the flames; in the background, a calm Śaiva/Kaumāra symbol (liṅga/vel) cools the scene with moonlight-like serenity.
