Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 6
यतोयतो ब्रह्महणं याति यानेन शोभनम् । दिशो भागं सुरैः सार्द्धं ततो हत्या न मुञ्चति
yatoyato brahmahaṇaṃ yāti yānena śobhanam | diśo bhāgaṃ suraiḥ sārddhaṃ tato hatyā na muñcati
جہاں جہاں برہمن ہنتا اپنے شاندار رتھ میں جاتا، دیوتاؤں کے ساتھ سمتوں کی طرف بھی، وہاں سے برہماہتیا اسے ہرگز نہیں چھوڑتی تھی۔
Mārkaṇḍeya
Scene: A radiant chariot traverses the quarters of space; a dark, clinging personified Brahmahatyā shadows the traveler, refusing to fall away despite divine company.
