Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 7
एवं यस्य प्रभावो वै नोक्तः पूर्वं त्वया विभो । अन्येषां तीर्थदेवानां माहात्म्यं वर्णितं त्वया । न त्वीदृशं तु कथितं श्रीसोमेशस्य यादृशम्
evaṃ yasya prabhāvo vai noktaḥ pūrvaṃ tvayā vibho | anyeṣāṃ tīrthadevānāṃ māhātmyaṃ varṇitaṃ tvayā | na tvīdṛśaṃ tu kathitaṃ śrīsomeśasya yādṛśam
وهكذا، يا ربّ، لم تكن قد ذكرتَ من قبلُ الأثرَ الحقَّ وقوّةَ هذا المعبود. لقد وصفتَ عظمةَ سائرِ التيِرثات وآلهتِها، غير أنّ عظمةَ الشريفِ شري سوميشڤرا لم يُحكَ مثلُها.
