Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 43
सूत उवाच । तस्य तद्वचनं श्रुत्वा शाकल्यः क्रोधमूर्छितः । ततः प्रोवाच तं भूयो भर्त्समानो मुहुर्मुहुः
sūta uvāca | tasya tadvacanaṃ śrutvā śākalyaḥ krodhamūrchitaḥ | tataḥ provāca taṃ bhūyo bhartsamāno muhurmuhuḥ
سوتا نے کہا: اُن باتوں کو سن کر شاکلیہ غصّے سے بے خود ہو گیا؛ پھر وہ اسے بار بار، مسلسل ملامت کرتے ہوئے دوبارہ بولا۔
