Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 22
अथ संपतितो भूमौ मूर्छया संपरिप्लुतः । कर्तव्यं नैव जानाति तत्प्रहारप्रपीडितः
atha saṃpatito bhūmau mūrchayā saṃpariplutaḥ | kartavyaṃ naiva jānāti tatprahāraprapīḍitaḥ
Lalu dia rebah ke bumi, diliputi pengsan; dihimpit oleh pukulan itu, dia tidak lagi tahu apa yang patut dilakukan.
Unspecified narrator within the Tīrthamāhātmya episode (narrative description)
Scene: Maṇibhadra lies collapsed on the floor, eyes half-closed in faintness; the staff-bearer stands over him; the room’s earlier domestic calm is replaced by stillness and moral gravity.
