Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 9
अथ ते ब्राह्मणाः सर्वे जग्मुः स्वंस्वं निवेशनम् । चंडशर्मा स चोद्विग्नः पुष्पपार्श्वं तदा गतः
atha te brāhmaṇāḥ sarve jagmuḥ svaṃsvaṃ niveśanam | caṃḍaśarmā sa codvignaḥ puṣpapārśvaṃ tadā gataḥ
แล้วพราหมณ์ทั้งปวงนั้นก็กลับไปยังเรือนของตน ๆ ส่วนจัณฑศรมาผู้ร้อนรนในใจ ก็ไปยังข้างปุษปะในกาลนั้น
Narrator (contextual; speaker not explicit in this verse)
