Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 150
क्षीरमूर्जामधु प्रोक्तं वर्तंते तेन देवताः । पितृभिः श्रूयते चापि पुनर्दुग्धा वसुन्धरा
kṣīramūrjāmadhu proktaṃ vartaṃte tena devatāḥ | pitṛbhiḥ śrūyate cāpi punardugdhā vasundharā
সেই ক্ষীৰক ‘ঊৰ্জা’ আৰু ‘মধু’—জীৱনীশক্তি আৰু মাধুৰ্য—বুলি কোৱা হয়; তাতেই দেৱতাসকল স্থিত থাকে। পিতৃসকলৰ পৰাো শ্ৰুতি আছে যে পৃথিৱী পুনৰ দুহা হৈছিল।
