Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 12
तेन नादेन महता त्रासितं भुवनत्रयम् । आपूरिता दिशः सर्वाः क्षुभितानेकसागराः
tena nādena mahatā trāsitaṃ bhuvanatrayam | āpūritā diśaḥ sarvāḥ kṣubhitānekasāgarāḥ
ด้วยสิงหนาทอันยิ่งใหญ่นั้น ไตรโลกสะท้านด้วยความหวาดกลัว; ทุกทิศถูกเติมเต็มด้วยเสียงนั้น และมหาสมุทรนานาประการปั่นป่วนกระเพื่อมไหว
