Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 24
एतत्ते सर्वमाख्यातं यन्मां त्वं परिपृच्छसि । तच्छ्रुत्वा सा विशालाक्षी त्रपयाऽधो मुखी तथा । आसीत्तूष्णीं तदा देवी श्रुत्वा वाक्यं च तादृशम्

‘நீ என்னைக் கேட்டதற்கெல்லாம் இதோ அனைத்தையும் கூறினேன்.’ இதைக் கேட்ட அந்த விசாலநேத்திரி வெட்கத்தால் முகம் தாழ்த்தினாள்; அத்தகைய சொற்களைச் செவிமடுத்த ராணி தேவி அப்போது மௌனமாயிருந்தாள்.
