Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 95
भवतां रक्षणोपायश्चिंतितोऽत्र मयाऽधुना । तेन तां मोहयिष्यामि कृत्यां हंतुमुपस्थिताम्
bhavatāṃ rakṣaṇopāyaściṃtito'tra mayā'dhunā | tena tāṃ mohayiṣyāmi kṛtyāṃ haṃtumupasthitām
இப்போது உங்கள் பாதுகாப்பிற்கான வழியை நான் இங்கே சிந்தித்தேன்; அதனால் கொல்லத் தயாராய் வந்த அந்த க்ருத்யையை நான் மயக்குவேன்.
