Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 47
गजं दत्त्वा महेंद्राय कुमारो यानमारुहत् । अनेकरत्नसंवीतं नानाश्चर्यसमन्वितम् । विचित्रचित्रं सुमहत्तथाश्चर्यसमन्वितम्
gajaṃ dattvā maheṃdrāya kumāro yānamāruhat | anekaratnasaṃvītaṃ nānāścaryasamanvitam | vicitracitraṃ sumahattathāścaryasamanvitam
Sesudah menyerahkan gajah itu kepada Mahendra, Kumāra menaiki sebuah kenderaan yang gemilang—dihiasi pelbagai permata, sarat dengan keajaiban, besar lagi menakjubkan, dengan corak yang indah beraneka warna.
