Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 11
त्रितस्ताभ्यां पुरो याति पृष्ठतो भ्रातरौ च तौ । गोधनं चालयंतस्ते प्रभासं क्षेत्रमागताः
tritastābhyāṃ puro yāti pṛṣṭhato bhrātarau ca tau | godhanaṃ cālayaṃtaste prabhāsaṃ kṣetramāgatāḥ
திரிதன் முன்னே நடந்தான்; அந்த இரு சகோதரர்கள் பின்னால் பசுக் கூட்டத்தை ஓட்டிக்கொண்டு வந்தனர்; இவ்வாறு அவர்கள் பிரபாசக் க்ஷேத்திரத்தை அடைந்தனர்.
