Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 32
अमूर्तैः पितृभिः पूर्वमेव ख्यातो हि मे पुरा । एवं हर्षान्वितः पार्थ संचिंत्याऽहं ततो मुहुः
amūrtaiḥ pitṛbhiḥ pūrvameva khyāto hi me purā | evaṃ harṣānvitaḥ pārtha saṃciṃtyā'haṃ tato muhuḥ
قد أُعلِمْتُ بهذا من قبلُ على يد الآباء الأسلاف (الپِتْرِ) غير المتجسّدين. وهكذا، يا بارثا، وقد امتلأتُ فرحًا، ظللتُ أتأمّل ذلك مرارًا وتكرارًا.
