Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 35
ततो देवगणैः सर्वैः समेतः पाकशासनः । तमर्थं प्रोक्तवाञ्छंभुं विनयावनतः स्थितः
tato devagaṇaiḥ sarvaiḥ sametaḥ pākaśāsanaḥ | tamarthaṃ proktavāñchaṃbhuṃ vinayāvanataḥ sthitaḥ
پھر پاکا کو سزا دینے والا اندرا، تمام دیوتاؤں کے جتھوں کے ساتھ، شَمبھو کے پاس آیا؛ عاجزی سے جھک کر کھڑا ہوا اور اپنا مقصد بیان کیا۔
