Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 44
यंयं शृणोति शब्दं स मृगपक्षिसमुद्भवम् । रजन्यां तत्र निर्याति मत्वा फलवतीं च ताम्
yaṃyaṃ śṛṇoti śabdaṃ sa mṛgapakṣisamudbhavam | rajanyāṃ tatra niryāti matvā phalavatīṃ ca tām
மான் அல்லது பறவைகளிலிருந்து எழும் எந்த ஒலியைக் கேட்டாலும், இரவில் அவ்விடத்திற்கே ஓடுவான்—அதையே அவளென எண்ணி, பலன் கிடைக்கும் என்ற நம்பிக்கையுடன்।
Narrator (describing Jābāli)
Scene: At night, the brāhmaṇa darts toward rustling bushes and distant calls, eyes wide with hope and confusion; silhouettes of deer and birds appear amid moonlit trees.
