Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 9
अथ ते ब्राह्मणाः सर्वे जग्मुः स्वंस्वं निवेशनम् । चंडशर्मा स चोद्विग्नः पुष्पपार्श्वं तदा गतः
atha te brāhmaṇāḥ sarve jagmuḥ svaṃsvaṃ niveśanam | caṃḍaśarmā sa codvignaḥ puṣpapārśvaṃ tadā gataḥ
پھر وہ سب برہمن اپنے اپنے گھروں کو لوٹ گئے؛ اور چندشرما دل میں بے چین ہو کر اسی وقت پُشپ کے پاس جا پہنچا۔
Narrator (contextual; speaker not explicit in this verse)
Scene: Brāhmaṇas depart in small groups to their homes; dusk light; Caṇḍaśarmā, visibly distressed, hurries toward Puṣpa’s dwelling, glancing back fearfully.
