Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 8
शक्रस्य तद्वचः श्रुत्वा चिरं ध्यात्वा वृहस्पतिः । तत्र प्रोवाच तीर्थानि भया द्भीतानि हर्षयन्
śakrasya tadvacaḥ śrutvā ciraṃ dhyātvā vṛhaspatiḥ | tatra provāca tīrthāni bhayā dbhītāni harṣayan
Ao ouvir as palavras de Śakra, Bṛhaspati meditou por longo tempo; então falou ali, alegrando os tīrtha que tremiam de medo.
Sūta (narration)
Scene: Bṛhaspati sits in meditation, eyes half-closed; the gathered tīrthas (personified) wait anxiously. He then begins to speak, and their faces brighten with relief.
