Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 28
ततः कृच्छ्रात्समासाद्य सैवं तं यज्ञमंडपम् । कृच्छ्रात्कारागृहं तद्वद्दुष्प्रेक्ष्यं दृक्पथं गतम्
tataḥ kṛcchrātsamāsādya saivaṃ taṃ yajñamaṃḍapam | kṛcchrātkārāgṛhaṃ tadvadduṣprekṣyaṃ dṛkpathaṃ gatam
ထို့နောက် အလွန်ခက်ခဲစွာဖြင့် သူမသည် ထိုယဇ်မဏ္ဍပသို့ ရောက်ရှိ၏။ ထိုအရာသည် ထောင်အိမ်တစ်ခုကဲ့သို့ မြင်ရခက်၍၊ မျက်စိလမ်းကြောင်းထဲ ဝင်လာသော်လည်း ကြည့်ရသည်မှာ နာကျင်ဖွယ် ဖြစ်၏။
