Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 77
इति सारस्वतेनोक्तं वाक्यमाकर्ण्य भूपतिः । सीमंतिन्याः प्रभावेण विस्मयं परमं गतः
iti sārasvatenoktaṃ vākyamākarṇya bhūpatiḥ | sīmaṃtinyāḥ prabhāveṇa vismayaṃ paramaṃ gataḥ
Pagkarinig ng hari sa mga salitang ito na sinabi ni Sārasvata, siya’y napasapit sa sukdulang pagkamangha dahil sa pambihirang kapangyarihan ng ginang na si Sīmantinī.
Narrator (Purāṇic voice)
Scene: The king listens to Sārasvata’s words and is visibly astonished, glancing toward Sīmantinī whose presence radiates an uncanny, composed power; courtiers whisper, sages remain calm.
