Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 29
ततः प्रभाते विमले प्रोद्गते रविमंडले । यावत्पश्यति शूद्रः स तावत्तत्र न किञ्चन
tataḥ prabhāte vimale prodgate ravimaṃḍale | yāvatpaśyati śūdraḥ sa tāvattatra na kiñcana
ତାପରେ ନିର୍ମଳ ପ୍ରଭାତେ ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟମଣ୍ଡଳ ଉଦିତ ହେଲା; ସେ ଶୂଦ୍ର ଯେତେବେଳେ ଦେଖୁଥିଲା, ସେତେବେଳେ ସେଠାରେ କିଛିମାତ୍ର ଦେଖିଲା ନାହିଁ।
