Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 52
तमुवाच ततो दैत्यं विरंचोऽमरनायकः । न युज्यते विना मृत्युं देहिनो देहधारणम् । जातस्य हि ध्रुवो मृत्युः सत्यमेतच्छ्रुतीरितम्
tamuvāca tato daityaṃ viraṃco'maranāyakaḥ | na yujyate vinā mṛtyuṃ dehino dehadhāraṇam | jātasya hi dhruvo mṛtyuḥ satyametacchrutīritam
于是，维兰遮（梵天 Brahmā），不死者之领袖，对那达伊提亚说道：“凡具身者，欲持此身而无死，实不相应。既已出生，死亡必定——此乃真实，正如《室卢提》所宣说。”
Brahmā (Virañca)
Listener: Ṛṣis (frame)
Scene: Brahmā (Virañca) calmly instructs the daitya: embodied existence cannot be deathless; śruti itself declares death certain for the born.
