Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 43
तदा संताप्यमानाया भुवः काष्ठस्य वै यथा । सुस्राव यो जलौघश्च सर्वदेवनमस्कृतः
tadā saṃtāpyamānāyā bhuvaḥ kāṣṭhasya vai yathā | susrāva yo jalaughaśca sarvadevanamaskṛtaḥ
Noon, habang ang lupa ay pinapainit—gaya ng kahoy na sinusunog—bumukal ang isang rumaragasang baha ng tubig, na sinasamba at iginagalang ng lahat ng mga diyos.
Saṃvarta
Scene: The earth appears scorched like burning timber; from a divine source a vast, luminous flood pours forth while the gods stand with folded hands, praising the sacred waters.
