Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 10
शांडिल्युवाच । मनसापि मया ध्यातं शुभं वा यदिवाऽशुभम् । नान्यथा जायते देव विशेषात्कोपयुक्तया
śāṃḍilyuvāca | manasāpi mayā dhyātaṃ śubhaṃ vā yadivā'śubham | nānyathā jāyate deva viśeṣātkopayuktayā
قال شاندِليا: «يا أيها الإله، إن ما يُتَصَوَّر في الذهن وحده—خيرًا كان أو شرًّا—لا يصير على غير ما هو، ولا سيما إذا اقترن بالغضب».
