Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 36
अधुना वर्तितुं लोके न शक्ताः स्मो वयं प्रभो । रुद्राध्यायानुभावेन निर्दग्धाश्चैव विद्रुताः
adhunā vartituṃ loke na śaktāḥ smo vayaṃ prabho | rudrādhyāyānubhāvena nirdagdhāścaiva vidrutāḥ
اب، اے پروردگار، ہم دنیا میں کام کرنے کے قابل نہیں رہے۔ رودرادھیائے کے اثر سے ہم جھلس گئے اور بھگا دیے گئے۔
Pātakanāyakāḥ (speaking to Yama)
Scene: Sin-agents appear scorched, fleeing as waves of luminous mantra-fire radiate from a reciter of Rudrādhyāya; the air itself seems charged with sacred syllables.
