Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 19
तथा ये सुहृदोऽभीष्टा नित्यं मम हिते रताः । कामवस्थां प्रयास्यन्ति दृष्ट्वा मां स्थितमीदृशम्
tathā ye suhṛdo'bhīṣṭā nityaṃ mama hite ratāḥ | kāmavasthāṃ prayāsyanti dṛṣṭvā māṃ sthitamīdṛśam
At ang aking mga minamahal na kaibigan, na laging nakatuon sa aking kapakanan—pagkakita sa aking nakatayo sa ganitong kalagayan—ay mapapasa isang abang kalungkutan at dalamhati.
