Ramayana
अविचिन्त्य तु तां वेलां दारुणां पितृगौरवात् । उपसृत्याग्रतस्तस्य चरणाधोमुखी स्थिता । विलिखन्ती मुहुर्भूमिमङ्गुष्ठाग्रेण भामिनी ॥ 7-9-15 ॥
Heedless of that dreadful, inauspicious hour, out of reverence for her father, she approached and stood before him with her face cast down toward his feet, the beautiful woman scratching at the ground again and again with the tip of her toe.
