Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 36
अथ तोयेन शीतेन सेचयित्वा मुहुर्मुहुः । दत्त्वा भूयोऽपि वातं च यावच्चक्रे सचेतनाम् । तावत्कात्यायनी प्राप्ता मैत्रेयी च ससंभ्रमम्
atha toyena śītena secayitvā muhurmuhuḥ | dattvā bhūyo'pi vātaṃ ca yāvaccakre sacetanām | tāvatkātyāyanī prāptā maitreyī ca sasaṃbhramam
Rồi ông rưới nước mát lên nàng hết lần này đến lần khác, lại quạt gió cho nàng, khiến nàng dần hồi tỉnh. Đúng lúc ấy, Kātyāyanī đến nơi, và Maitreyī cũng vội vã chạy tới, lòng đầy bàng hoàng.
Narrative voice (continuation; likely under Sūta’s narration in the adhyāya)
Scene: A fainted woman is revived by repeated sprinkling of cool water and fanning; two women—Kātyāyanī and Maitreyī—rush in, anxious and breathless, as the revived figure stirs.
