Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 44
इत्थं सुविस्मितो राजा भीतः सा राजवल्लभा । प्रत्युवाच विहस्यैनं विनयेन शुचिस्मिता
itthaṃ suvismito rājā bhītaḥ sā rājavallabhā | pratyuvāca vihasyainaṃ vinayena śucismitā
Sa gayon, ang hari’y labis na namangha at natakot. Ang minamahal ng hari—banayad na nakangiti—ay marahang tumawa at sumagot sa kaniya nang may pagpapakumbaba.
