Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 47
उर्वशी चैव तं याति सुकेशा सह भाषते । मञ्जुघोषा मुखं वक्त्रं कृत्वा त्वां न निरीक्षते
urvaśī caiva taṃ yāti sukeśā saha bhāṣate | mañjughoṣā mukhaṃ vaktraṃ kṛtvā tvāṃ na nirīkṣate
อุรวศีไปหาเขา; สุเกศาก็สนทนากับเขา มัญชุโฆษาหันหน้าหนี มิได้เหลียวมองท่านเลย
Sūta (deduced: Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa narration style in Māhātmya context)
Tirtha: Vastrāpatha-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Urvaśī approaches Bali; Sukeśā converses with him; Mañjughoṣā turns her face away from the addressed figure, refusing eye-contact—an enacted hierarchy of worth.
