Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 104
विधवा न कुले तस्य न वंध्या न च दुर्भगा । न कन्याजननी चापि न च स्याद्भर्तुरप्रिया । अष्टौ दोषास्तु नारीणां न भवंति कदाचन
vidhavā na kule tasya na vaṃdhyā na ca durbhagā | na kanyājananī cāpi na ca syādbharturapriyā | aṣṭau doṣāstu nārīṇāṃ na bhavaṃti kadācana
Dalam keluarganya tidak akan ada balu, tidak ada wanita mandul, dan tidak ada yang ditimpa malang; tidak ada pula ibu yang hanya melahirkan anak perempuan, dan tidak ada yang menjadi tidak disukai suaminya. Sesungguhnya, lapan cela yang disandarkan kepada wanita tidak timbul di sana pada bila-bila masa.
