Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 80

Devanagari script

गात्रेष्वप्रतिरूपेषु मासिकांतमिवाभवत् । संज्ञा च रविणा दृष्टा निमीलयति लोचने । यतस्ततः सरोषोऽर्कः संज्ञां वचनमब्रवीत्

Transliteration

gātreṣvapratirūpeṣu māsikāṃtamivābhavat | saṃjñā ca raviṇā dṛṣṭā nimīlayati locane | yatastataḥ saroṣo'rkaḥ saṃjñāṃ vacanamabravīt

Translation

Anggota tubuhnya menjadi seakan tidak serupa, bagaikan orang yang menderita pada penghujung bulan. Dan apabila Ravi melihat Saṃjñā, dia pun memejamkan mata. Melihat hal itu berulang-ulang, Arka (Surya) menjadi murka lalu berkata-kata kepada Saṃjñā.

The story is part of Prabhāsa-kṣetra’s māhātmya, tying cosmic events to the sacred landscape of Prabhāsa.
