Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 132
उद्वेजयति भूतानि यथा चौरास्तथैव सः । नरकं याति पापात्मा नित्योद्वेगकरस्त्वसौ
udvejayati bhūtāni yathā caurāstathaiva saḥ | narakaṃ yāti pāpātmā nityodvegakarastvasau
เขาทำให้สรรพสัตว์หวาดกลัวดุจโจรทั้งหลาย ดังนั้นผู้นั้นผู้มีจิตบาป—ผู้ก่อความเดือดร้อนอยู่เนืองนิตย์—ย่อมไปสู่นรก
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced from Māheśvara-khaṇḍa context)
Scene: A stark moral allegory: a persistent harasser-beggar looming like a thief, householders and animals recoiling; in the background, a symbolic vision of naraka as a warning—balanced by a contrasting scene of peaceful, dignified receiving through charity halls.
