Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 69
चिन्तयावश्च मनसि प्रतीकारं मुनेरुभौ । यो हि मानुष्यमासाद्य जलबुद्बुदभंगुरम्
cintayāvaśca manasi pratīkāraṃ munerubhau | yo hi mānuṣyamāsādya jalabudbudabhaṃguram
చింతావశులమై మేమిద్దరం ముని బోధించిన ప్రతికారమును మనసులో ఆలోచించితిమి. ఎందుకంటే మానవజీవితం పొందినదే గాని అది జలబుడగవలె భంగురము.
Narrator (deduced, continuing the dialogue episode)
