Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 38
भ्रमंति च कलौ लोका गगनासक्तदृष्टयः । जानाति चापि तनयः पिता चेन्निधनं व्रजेत्
bhramaṃti ca kalau lokā gaganāsaktadṛṣṭayaḥ | jānāti cāpi tanayaḥ pitā cennidhanaṃ vrajet
Dalam Kali, manusia merayau dengan pandangan terpaku ke langit (hati gelisah dan tidak tenteram). Bahkan seorang anak pun membayangkan dalam fikirannya, jika ayahnya harus pergi menuju kematian.

Type: kshetra
Scene: People wandering aimlessly, faces tilted to the sky as if seeking omens; a son watches an aging father with calculating eyes; a temple spire anchors the horizon.
