Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 18
व्रह्मोवाच । भविष्यति ध्रुवा विप्र सृष्टिर्या भवता कृता । परं सर्वेषु कृत्येषु यज्ञार्हा न भविष्यति
vrahmovāca | bhaviṣyati dhruvā vipra sṛṣṭiryā bhavatā kṛtā | paraṃ sarveṣu kṛtyeṣu yajñārhā na bhaviṣyati
ব্ৰহ্মাই ক’লে: হে বিপ্ৰ, তোমাৰ দ্বাৰা কৃত সৃষ্টি নিশ্চয় ধ্ৰুৱ হৈ থাকিব; কিন্তু সকলো ধৰ্মকাৰ্যত ই যজ্ঞত আহুতি গ্ৰহণৰ যোগ্য নহ’ব।
Brahmā
