Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 51
यमेऽपि स्वगणैः सार्द्धं मरुद्भिश्च सदागतिः । पाथोभिर्वरुणस्तत्र कुबेरो गुह्यकैः सह । ईशोऽपि प्रमथैः सार्द्धं नैरृतो व्याधिभिः सह
yame'pi svagaṇaiḥ sārddhaṃ marudbhiśca sadāgatiḥ | pāthobhirvaruṇastatra kubero guhyakaiḥ saha | īśo'pi pramathaiḥ sārddhaṃ nairṛto vyādhibhiḥ saha
యముడు కూడా తన గణాలతో కలిసి వచ్చెను; సదా చలించే మరుతులు కూడా అక్కడ ఉన్నారు. వరుణుడు జలసమూహాలతో, కుబేరుడు గుహ్యకులతో, ఈశుడు (శివుడు) ప్రమథులతో కూడ వచ్చెను; నైరృతుడు కూడా వ్యాధుల సమూహాలతో సహా వచ్చెను।
