Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 13
सरांसि नद्यः क्षयमभ्युपेता घोरे युगेऽस्मिन् हि कलौ प्रदूषिते । त्वं भ्राजसे देवि जलौघपूर्णा दिवीव नक्षत्रपथे च गङ्गा
sarāṃsi nadyaḥ kṣayamabhyupetā ghore yuge'smin hi kalau pradūṣite | tvaṃ bhrājase devi jalaughapūrṇā divīva nakṣatrapathe ca gaṅgā
اس ہولناک کَلی یُگ میں، جب تالاب اور ندیاں گھٹ کر آلودہ ہو گئی ہیں، تو ہی اے دیوی، پانی کے سیلاب سے لبریز ہو کر جگمگاتی ہے—جیسے آسمان کے ستاروں کے راستے پر درخشاں آسمانی گنگا۔
