Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 27
ततस्तु गर्भमासाद्य सा च त्रैलोक्यसुन्दरी । क्षात्त्रेण तेजसा युक्ता तत्क्षणात्समपद्यत । मनो राज्ये ततश्चक्रे हस्त्यश्वारोहणोद्भवे
tatastu garbhamāsādya sā ca trailokyasundarī | kṣāttreṇa tejasā yuktā tatkṣaṇātsamapadyata | mano rājye tataścakre hastyaśvārohaṇodbhave
مگر جب وہ حاملہ ہوئی تو تینوں لوکوں کی وہ سندری اسی دم کشتریہ جیسی شان و تپش سے آراستہ ہو گئی۔ پھر اس کا دل بادشاہی کی طرف مائل ہوا، ہاتھی اور گھوڑے کی سواری سے پیدا ہونے والے مشاغل کی طرف۔
