Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 9
तं दृष्ट्वा तेजसा युक्तं संहृष्टाः सुरसत्तमाः । ऊचुस्ते लोकस्रष्टारं शृणुष्व वचनं हि नः
taṃ dṛṣṭvā tejasā yuktaṃ saṃhṛṣṭāḥ surasattamāḥ | ūcuste lokasraṣṭāraṃ śṛṇuṣva vacanaṃ hi naḥ
তেওঁক তেজেৰে বিভূষিত দেখি দেবশ্ৰেষ্ঠসকল আনন্দিত হ’ল। তেওঁলোকে লোকস্ৰষ্টাক ক’লে— “আমাৰ বাক্য শুনক।”
