Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 3
तासां मध्ये च रोहिण्या सह रेमे स नित्यदा । त्यक्ताः सर्वाश्च चंद्रेण दक्षकन्याः सुदुःखिताः । गत्वा स्वपितरं नत्वा प्राहुरस्राविलेक्षणाः
tāsāṃ madhye ca rohiṇyā saha reme sa nityadā | tyaktāḥ sarvāśca caṃdreṇa dakṣakanyāḥ suduḥkhitāḥ | gatvā svapitaraṃ natvā prāhurasrāvilekṣaṇāḥ
သူတို့အနက် ရိုဟိဏီနှင့်သာ သူသည် အမြဲတမ်း ပျော်ရွှင်စွာ နေထိုင်၏။ ထို့ကြောင့် စန္ဒြက စွန့်ပစ်ထားသဖြင့် ဒက္ရှ၏ သမီးအခြားအားလုံးသည် အလွန်ဝမ်းနည်းကြေကွဲကာ မိမိတို့အဖထံ သွား၍ ဦးညွှတ်ကန်တော့ပြီး မျက်ရည်ဝဲဝဲဖြင့် ပြောကြ၏။
