Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 51
नष्टद्विजं नष्टतीर्थं स्थानं कृत्वा हि दानवः । परां मुदमवाप्यैव जगाम स्वालयं ततः
naṣṭadvijaṃ naṣṭatīrthaṃ sthānaṃ kṛtvā hi dānavaḥ | parāṃ mudamavāpyaiva jagāma svālayaṃ tataḥ
Tendo feito do lugar um sítio sem os dvijas e arruinado a eficácia do tīrtha, o Dānava, tomado de suprema alegria, partiu dali para a sua própria morada.
