Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 67
अस्याधीनमिदं सर्वं द्रव्यरत्नमशेषतः । उत्कर्षार्द्धं तु मे दद्यात्तत्र गत्वेति वा न वा
asyādhīnamidaṃ sarvaṃ dravyaratnamaśeṣataḥ | utkarṣārddhaṃ tu me dadyāttatra gatveti vā na vā
“এই সমস্ত ধনরত্ন নিঃশেষে তারই অধীন। সেখানে পৌঁছে সে কি আমাকে লাভের অর্ধেক দেবে, না দেবে?”
