Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 17
तथेति ते प्रतिज्ञाय रात्रौ गत्वा स्वकं गृहम् । परित्यज्य उभे ते तु क्रोधमूर्छितमूर्छिते
tatheti te pratijñāya rātrau gatvā svakaṃ gṛham | parityajya ubhe te tu krodhamūrchitamūrchite
انہوں نے ‘تتھےتی’ کہہ کر عہد باندھا اور رات کو اپنے گھر چلے گئے؛ دونوں غصّے سے مغلوب ہو کر بے ہوشی کے عالم میں تھے۔
