Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 23
सूत उवाच । एवमुक्त्वा द्विजाः सर्वे जग्मुः स्वंस्वं निकेतनम् । पुष्पोपि च समुद्विग्नो वैलक्ष्यं परमं गतः
sūta uvāca | evamuktvā dvijāḥ sarve jagmuḥ svaṃsvaṃ niketanam | puṣpopi ca samudvigno vailakṣyaṃ paramaṃ gataḥ
สูตะกล่าวว่า: ครั้นกล่าวดังนี้แล้ว พราหมณ์ทั้งปวงก็ไปยังเรือนของตน ๆ; ส่วนปุษปะก็หวั่นไหวอย่างยิ่ง ตกอยู่ในความละอายและความเศร้าสลดอย่างที่สุด
Sūta
Scene: A group of brāhmaṇas depart along a village path; Puṣpa remains behind, head bowed, hands clasped, face flushed with shame and worry.
