Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 31
ततो वर्षशतस्यांते तुतोष शशिशेखरः । प्रत्यक्षीभूय मामाह मेघगंभीरया गिरा
tato varṣaśatasyāṃte tutoṣa śaśiśekharaḥ | pratyakṣībhūya māmāha meghagaṃbhīrayā girā
Então, ao fim de cem anos, Śaśiśekhara (Śiva) ficou satisfeito. Manifestando-se diante de mim, falou-me com voz profunda como nuvens de trovão.
