Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 34
सूत उवाच । एवमुक्ताश्च ते नागा ब्रह्मणा सत्वरं ययुः । पातालं कुलमुख्याश्च तस्मिन्क्षेत्रे व्यवस्थिताः
sūta uvāca | evamuktāśca te nāgā brahmaṇā satvaraṃ yayuḥ | pātālaṃ kulamukhyāśca tasminkṣetre vyavasthitāḥ
Sūta nói: “Được Phạm Thiên dạy như vậy, các Nāga liền vội vã đi về Pātāla; và các vị thủ lĩnh dòng tộc an trú trong thánh địa ấy.”
