Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 29
जातः क्रोधवशायाश्च इराया भूरुहाः स्मृताः । कद्रूसुताः स्मृता नागा मुनेरप्सरसां गणाः
jātaḥ krodhavaśāyāśca irāyā bhūruhāḥ smṛtāḥ | kadrūsutāḥ smṛtā nāgā munerapsarasāṃ gaṇāḥ
De Krodhavaśā nasceram certos seres; de Irā são lembradas as plantas e as árvores. Os Nāgas são lembrados como filhos de Kadru; e de Muni vieram hostes de Apsarās.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced: Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration to sages)
Scene: Irā as a green-hued mother-goddess from whom trees and vines emerge; Kadru as a dark, serpentine-associated mother with nāgas coiling around; Muni as a serene ascetic-mother figure with apsarases appearing as luminous dancers in the sky.
