Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 27
ततस्तु गर्भमासाद्य सा च त्रैलोक्यसुन्दरी । क्षात्त्रेण तेजसा युक्ता तत्क्षणात्समपद्यत । मनो राज्ये ततश्चक्रे हस्त्यश्वारोहणोद्भवे
tatastu garbhamāsādya sā ca trailokyasundarī | kṣāttreṇa tejasā yuktā tatkṣaṇātsamapadyata | mano rājye tataścakre hastyaśvārohaṇodbhave
Но едва она зачала, эта красота трёх миров тотчас обрела кшатрийское сияние. Затем её ум обратился к царской власти и к занятиям, рождаемым ездой на слонах и конях.
