Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 101
पर्वताश्चापि शीर्यंते ध्वजसंगोऽपि नाऽभवत् । अकृष्टपच्या पृथिवी सिध्यंत्यन्नानि चिंतया । सर्वकामदुघा गावः पुटकेपुटके मधु
parvatāścāpi śīryaṃte dhvajasaṃgo'pi nā'bhavat | akṛṣṭapacyā pṛthivī sidhyaṃtyannāni ciṃtayā | sarvakāmadughā gāvaḥ puṭakepuṭake madhu
حتى الجبال خضعت فتفتّتت، ولم يقع لرايته أدنى عائق. وصارت الأرض «تُثمر بلا حراثة»، تُنال الأقوات بمجرّد الخاطر. وغدت الأبقار واهبةً لكل مطلوب، ووجد العسل في كل إناء صغير.
