Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 36
आकस्मिकी च बाधा नः कदाचिन्न प्रणश्यति । तथा कुरुत भद्रं वो यथा तुष्टिः प्रजायते
ākasmikī ca bādhā naḥ kadācinna praṇaśyati | tathā kuruta bhadraṃ vo yathā tuṣṭiḥ prajāyate
আমাৰ এই আকস্মিক বাধা কেতিয়াও সম্পূৰ্ণৰূপে নাশ নহয়। সেয়ে—তোমালোকৰ মঙ্গল হওক—এনেদৰে কৰাঁ যাতে আমাত সন্তুষ্টি জন্মে।
