Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 95
ततो गते भगवति नीललोहिते सहोमया गिरिममलं हि भूधरः । सबांधवो रुदिति हि कस्य नो मनो विसंष्ठंलं जगति हि कन्यकापितुः
tato gate bhagavati nīlalohite sahomayā girimamalaṃ hi bhūdharaḥ | sabāṃdhavo ruditi hi kasya no mano visaṃṣṭhaṃlaṃ jagati hi kanyakāpituḥ
جب بھگوان نیل لوہت (شیو) اُما کے ساتھ روانہ ہو گئے تو پہاڑوں کے سردار ہمالیہ اپنے بے داغ پہاڑ پر تمام رشتہ داروں سمیت زار و قطار رویا۔ بھلا اس دنیا میں بیٹی کے باپ کے غم سے کس کا دل نہ لرزے؟
