Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 18
धिग्धिक्कलिप्रिय त्वां च रागे वैराग्यकारकम् । त्वया कृतं सर्वमेतद्विधेस्तस्य तथान्तरम्
dhigdhikkalipriya tvāṃ ca rāge vairāgyakārakam | tvayā kṛtaṃ sarvametadvidhestasya tathāntaram
تجھ پر افسوس—اے کَلی کے محبوب! تو وہاں بھی بےرغبتی پیدا کرتا ہے جہاں محبت و رغبت ہونی چاہیے۔ یہ سب کچھ تیرے ہی کیے سے ہوا ہے، اور خالق کے اس حکم میں بھی تو نے خلل ڈالا۔
