Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 10
येन त्यक्ता मया साध्वी कुण्डिनं याति तत्पुरम् । स एवं निश्चयं कृत्वा सुखसुप्तां विहाय ताम् । प्रजगाम वनं घोरं वन्यश्वापदसंकुलम्
yena tyaktā mayā sādhvī kuṇḍinaṃ yāti tatpuram | sa evaṃ niścayaṃ kṛtvā sukhasuptāṃ vihāya tām | prajagāma vanaṃ ghoraṃ vanyaśvāpadasaṃkulam
Pensando: “Ao deixá-la, essa senhora virtuosa irá a Kuṇḍina, aquela cidade”, firmou tal decisão; e, deixando-a enquanto dormia serenamente, entrou numa floresta terrível, repleta de feras e predadores.
