Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 2
सूत उवाच । एवमुक्तस्ततो भूयो विश्वामित्रोऽब्रवीदिदम् । कोपेन महता युक्तो निःस्पृहस्तत्परिग्रहे
sūta uvāca | evamuktastato bhūyo viśvāmitro'bravīdidam | kopena mahatā yukto niḥspṛhastatparigrahe
Disse Sūta: Tendo ela falado assim, Viśvāmitra respondeu de novo—tomado de grande ira e indiferente a aceitá-la.
Sūta
Type: kshetra
Listener: (Contextual) Śaunaka and the Naimiṣāraṇya sages
Scene: Sūta narrates; the scene cuts to Viśvāmitra with blazing eyes of controlled anger, yet body language of refusal—hand turned away, gaze averted from Menakā’s allure.
