Srimad Bhagavatam — Saptama Skandha, Shloka 58
Prahlāda Rejects Material Boons; Forgives His Father; Tripura and the Power of Remembrance
ततोऽग्निवर्णा इषव उत्पेतु: सूर्यमण्डलात् । यथा मयूखसन्दोहा नादृश्यन्त पुरो यत: ॥ ५८ ॥
tato ’gni-varṇā iṣava utpetuḥ sūrya-maṇḍalāt yathā mayūkha-sandohā nādṛśyanta puro yataḥ
Pagkatapos, ang mga palasong kulay-apoy ay sumiklab mula sa bilog ng araw na parang kumpol ng sinag, at tinakpan ang tatlong sasakyang-lipad na tirahan ng Tripura kaya hindi na sila makita.
