Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 23
न तृषा नैव क्षुच्चैव विप्राः संक्लिष्टमानसाः । अभवन्सहसा राजन्विस्मयाविष्टचेतसः
na tṛṣā naiva kṣuccaiva viprāḥ saṃkliṣṭamānasāḥ | abhavansahasā rājanvismayāviṣṭacetasaḥ
Với các brāhmaṇa có tâm từng bị phiền não, chẳng còn khát cũng chẳng còn đói. Tâu Đại vương, bỗng chốc tâm họ chìm trong niềm kinh ngạc.

Type: kshetra
Listener: King (rājan)
Scene: After eating, the brāhmaṇas sit upright with brightened faces; their earlier strain is gone. A shared, silent astonishment fills the grove, as if the air itself has become sacred and still.
