Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 54
एवं शोकाकुलं दीनमिंद्रसेनमहीपतेः । नगरं सहसा क्षुब्धं चित्रवर्मपुरं तथा
evaṃ śokākulaṃ dīnamiṃdrasenamahīpateḥ | nagaraṃ sahasā kṣubdhaṃ citravarmapuraṃ tathā
Thế rồi, khi vua Indrasena chìm trong cảnh khốn cùng, bị sầu não cuộn xoáy, thành Citravarmapura cũng bỗng chốc náo loạn, chấn động khắp nơi.
Narrator (Purāṇic narrator; specific speaker not explicit in this excerpt)
Scene: A wide view of Citravarmapura: palace gates crowded, streets in disarray, people running and gathering; the atmosphere feels suddenly ‘shaken’ as if the city itself is disturbed by grief.
