Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 13
यस्मान्मे पुरतः पापे कांतस्य मम हर्षिता । शय्यायां त्वं समाविष्टा लज्जां त्यक्त्वा सुदूरतः । तस्मादश्वमुखी नूनं विकृता त्वं भविष्यसि
yasmānme purataḥ pāpe kāṃtasya mama harṣitā | śayyāyāṃ tvaṃ samāviṣṭā lajjāṃ tyaktvā sudūrataḥ | tasmādaśvamukhī nūnaṃ vikṛtā tvaṃ bhaviṣyasi
