Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 32
द्विज उवाच । न विचारस्त्वया कार्यः कृता यज्ञा न संशयः । यदि वेदाः प्रमाणं तं भुवि देवा द्विजास्तथा
dvija uvāca | na vicārastvayā kāryaḥ kṛtā yajñā na saṃśayaḥ | yadi vedāḥ pramāṇaṃ taṃ bhuvi devā dvijāstathā
দ্বিজে ক’লে: “এই বিষয়ে তোমাৰ চিন্তা কৰাৰ প্ৰয়োজন নাই। যজ্ঞসমূহ নিশ্চয়েই সম্পন্ন হৈছে—সন্দেহ নাই। যদি বেদ প্ৰমাণ হয়, তেন্তে পৃথিৱীত দেৱতা আৰু ব্ৰাহ্মণ উভয়েই সেই সত্যৰ সাক্ষী।”
