Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 58
अनादृत्य हि मे वाक्यं यस्मात्त्वं रोहिणीरतः । संत्यज्य पुत्रीश्चास्माकं शेषा दोषेण वर्जिताः । तस्माद्यक्ष्मा शरीरं ते ग्रसिष्यति न संशयः
anādṛtya hi me vākyaṃ yasmāttvaṃ rohiṇīrataḥ | saṃtyajya putrīścāsmākaṃ śeṣā doṣeṇa varjitāḥ | tasmādyakṣmā śarīraṃ te grasiṣyati na saṃśayaḥ
“Vì ngươi đã khinh thường lời ta và chỉ quyến luyến Rohiṇī, bỏ mặc các con gái khác của ta vốn không hề có lỗi; bởi thế chứng Yakṣmā sẽ bám lấy thân ngươi, điều ấy không còn nghi ngờ.”
