Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 52
विवस्त्रा सापि तत्रैव खिन्नांगी कामसेवया । न शशाक क्वचिद्गंतुं समुत्थाय ततः क्षितौ
vivastrā sāpi tatraiva khinnāṃgī kāmasevayā | na śaśāka kvacidgaṃtuṃ samutthāya tataḥ kṣitau
وہ بھی وہاں برہنہ رہ گئی، شہوت پرستی کی وجہ سے اس کا جسم نڈھال تھا، وہ زمین سے اٹھ کر کہیں بھی جانے کے قابل نہ رہی۔
Narrator (purāṇic narrative voice)
Scene: A woman lies or sits collapsed on the earth, unclothed and exhausted, hair disheveled, gaze vacant with shock; the landscape feels indifferent—open ground near a grove—inviting the next act of rescue or sacred intervention.
