Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 44
एवमुक्त्वागमच्छीघ्रं स्फोटयन्ती नभस्तलम् । मिथिलास्थो महाप्राज्ञस्तपस्तेपे महामनाः
evamuktvāgamacchīghraṃ sphoṭayantī nabhastalam | mithilāstho mahāprājñastapastepe mahāmanāḥ
இவ்வாறு சொல்லி அவள் விரைந்து சென்றாள்; வான்வெளியைப் பிளப்பதுபோல். இதற்கிடையில் மிதிலாவில் மகாப்ராஜ்ஞன், மகாமனத்தன் முனி தவத்தில் நிலைத்திருந்தான்।
