Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 35
शाकल्य उवाच । अत एव विशेषेण समाहूतोऽसि पुत्रक । तस्मात्तत्र द्रुतं गच्छ नावज्ञेया महीभुजः
śākalya uvāca | ata eva viśeṣeṇa samāhūto'si putraka | tasmāttatra drutaṃ gaccha nāvajñeyā mahībhujaḥ
ଶାକଲ୍ୟ କହିଲେ— ଏହି କାରଣରୁ, ପୁତ୍ର, ତୁମକୁ ବିଶେଷଭାବେ ଡାକାଯାଇଛି। ତେଣୁ ସେଠାକୁ ଶୀଘ୍ର ଯାଅ; ରାଜାଙ୍କୁ ଅବଜ୍ଞା କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍ ନୁହେଁ।
Śākalya
Listener: Yājñavalkya
