Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 38
नंदादित्यं पुनर्दृष्ट्वा न पुनर्मर्त्त्यतां व्रजेत । प्रदद्यात्कपिलां तत्र ब्राह्मणे वेदपारगे
naṃdādityaṃ punardṛṣṭvā na punarmarttyatāṃ vrajeta | pradadyātkapilāṃ tatra brāhmaṇe vedapārage
مَن رأى ننداديتيا مرةً أخرى فلا ينبغي له أن يعود إلى حال الفناء البشري. وهناك يُستحبّ أن يُقدَّم عطاءُ بقرةٍ كَبِيلَا ذات لونٍ أشقر إلى براهمنٍ متبحّرٍ في الفيدا.
