Skandapurana 4.44.3

4.44.3

Skanda said: / Then, Hara, the lord of the universe, residing in a jeweled palace of peerless brilliance shining within the caves of Mount Mandara, / surrounded on all sides by the gods, and clothing the sky with his own peaks— / he, charming with a slender digit of the moon, / the author of peace, did not find happiness, burning with fever born of separation from expanding Kāśī. / The paste of Malaya-born sandalwood, applied even by the foe of Tripura to cool the fire of separation, / now truly assumed a burning thirst.
