Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 78
न वर्षति घनः काले संप्राप्तेऽपि यथोचिते । न सस्यं स्यात्सुवृष्टेपि कर्षुकस्यापि वांछितम्
na varṣati ghanaḥ kāle saṃprāpte'pi yathocite | na sasyaṃ syātsuvṛṣṭepi karṣukasyāpi vāṃchitam
Dẫu đến đúng mùa, mây vẫn chẳng mưa; và dẫu mưa lớn, mùa màng vẫn không thành như điều người nông phu mong ước.
Skanda (deduced; exact speaker not explicit in snippet)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Parched fields under a cloudless sky; then a second panel-like contrast: torrential rain flooding yet crops remain stunted and pale; a farmer kneels in despair, while a distant shrine and river-ghāṭ suggest the sacred remedy.
