Skanda Purana — Vishnu Khanda, Shloka 173
देहत्यागं च ते तत्र कृत्वा दिव्यवपुर्द्धराः । तथान्यान्यपि सत्त्वानि स्थावराणि चराणि च
dehatyāgaṃ ca te tatra kṛtvā divyavapurddharāḥ | tathānyānyapi sattvāni sthāvarāṇi carāṇi ca
তাত দেহ ত্যাগ কৰি তেওঁলোকে দিব্য দেহ-ৰূপ ধাৰণ কৰিলে। তদ্ৰূপে আন আন সত্ত্বও—স্থাৱৰ আৰু চৰ—সকলোৱে সেই পবিত্ৰ প্ৰভাৱ লাভ কৰিলে।
