Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 134
इत्थं विवस्वतः सा तु बहुशः पृच्छतोऽन्यथा । न वाचा भाषते क्रुद्धः शापं दातुं समुद्यतः
itthaṃ vivasvataḥ sā tu bahuśaḥ pṛcchato'nyathā | na vācā bhāṣate kruddhaḥ śāpaṃ dātuṃ samudyataḥ
یوں ویوَسوان نے اسے بار بار کئی طرح سے پوچھا، مگر وہ زبان سے جواب نہ دے سکی۔ وہ غضبناک ہوا اور لعنت دینے کے لیے اٹھ کھڑا ہوا۔
