Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 76
निहन्मि दानवं यावत्साहाय्यं कुरु सुन्दरि । एवमुक्ता तु सा दुर्गा पपौ च रुधिरं ततः
nihanmi dānavaṃ yāvatsāhāyyaṃ kuru sundari | evamuktā tu sā durgā papau ca rudhiraṃ tataḥ
“ငါ ဒာနဝကို သတ်နေစဉ်အတွင်း၊ အလှတရားရှိသူမ၊ ကူညီထောက်ပံ့လော့” ဟု မိန့်တော်မူရာ ဒုရ္ဂါသည် ထိုသွေးကို ချက်ချင်းသောက်လေ၏။
Narrator (Śiva’s quoted instruction is included)
