Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 64
तस्यान्यथा वचः कर्तुं शक्यं नान्यैः सुरैरपि । ब्राह्मणाः कुपिता हन्युर्भस्मीकुर्युः स्वतेजसा
tasyānyathā vacaḥ kartuṃ śakyaṃ nānyaiḥ surairapi | brāhmaṇāḥ kupitā hanyurbhasmīkuryuḥ svatejasā
তাঁৰ বাক্য অন্যথা কৰাবলৈ আন দেৱতাসকলেও সক্ষম নহয়। ব্ৰাহ্মণসকল ক্ৰুদ্ধ হ’লে, নিজ তেজে আঘাত কৰি ভস্ম কৰি পেলাব পাৰে।
