Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 34
ततः संप्राप्स्यसि फलं तेषां नाशसमुद्रवम् । महद्दुःखं स्वपुत्रोत्थं मम शापेन पीडिता
tataḥ saṃprāpsyasi phalaṃ teṣāṃ nāśasamudravam | mahadduḥkhaṃ svaputrotthaṃ mama śāpena pīḍitā
“అప్పుడు ఆ శాపఫలాన్ని నీవు పొందుదువు—వారికి వినాశనపు ఉద్ధృతి; మరియు నా శాపంతో పీడితమై నీ స్వపుత్రుని వల్ల కలిగే మహాదుఃఖం.”
Revatī (continuing her account of the curse’s wording/effects)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Sureśvarī)
Scene: Revatī describes the curse’s fruit: waves of destruction and the piercing sorrow caused by one’s own son; the Devī listens with grave compassion.
