Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 27
कस्मात्त्वं कुरुषे भद्रे युक्तमेव वचो न ते । सर्वभूतदया कार्या प्राणिनां हि हितेच्छया
kasmāttvaṃ kuruṣe bhadre yuktameva vaco na te | sarvabhūtadayā kāryā prāṇināṃ hi hitecchayā
“হে ভদ্ৰে, তুমি কিয় এনেদৰে কথা কোৱা? তোমাৰ বাক্য যথোচিত নহয়। সকলো ভূতৰ প্ৰতি দয়া আচৰণীয়, কিয়নো প্ৰতিটো প্ৰাণীৰ মঙ্গল কামনা কৰা উচিত।”
