Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 75
सा तं विलोक्याखिलदेव देवं त्रिलोचनं चन्द्रकलावतंसम् । शशांकसूर्यानलकोटिभासं स्तब्धेव भीतेव तथैव तस्थौ
sā taṃ vilokyākhiladeva devaṃ trilocanaṃ candrakalāvataṃsam | śaśāṃkasūryānalakoṭibhāsaṃ stabdheva bhīteva tathaiva tasthau
Ao contemplá‑Lo—Deus de todos os deuses, o Trílocana coroado com a lua crescente, resplandecente como miríades de luas, sóis e fogos—ela permaneceu imóvel, como atônita e temerosa.
