Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 11
याहियाहीति विप्रैस्तैर्भर्त्स्यमानो मुहुर्मुहुः । सर्वतः सारमेयैश्च क्लिश्यमानो निरर्गलैः । काककोकिलसंकाशो जीर्णवस्त्रावगुंठितः

Dihina berulang kali oleh para brāhmaṇa itu dengan teriakan "Pergi! Pergi!", dan diseksa dari segenap penjuru oleh anjing-anjing liar, dia kelihatan seperti gagak atau tekukur, berbalut pakaian lusuh.
