Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 85
तत्र यास्यामि नो यत्र नामापि किल वै यतः । श्रूयते कामुकस्यास्य तत्र यास्याम्यहं द्रुतम्
tatra yāsyāmi no yatra nāmāpi kila vai yataḥ | śrūyate kāmukasyāsya tatra yāsyāmyahaṃ drutam
ကာမတဏှာကြောင့် မူးယစ်နေသူ၏ အမည်တောင် မကြားရသော အရပ်သို့ ငါသွားမည်။ ထိုအရပ်သို့ ငါ အလျင်အမြန် သွားမည်။
Sāvitrī (first-person vow; within Sūta’s narration)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Sāvitrī declares her intent to depart swiftly to a land untouched even by the mention of the lust-driven one; her face shows resolute disgust and wounded dignity.
