Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 11
तदंगस्पर्शनादेव सद्यो विध्वस्तकिल्बिषः । स ब्रह्मराक्षसो घोरो विषण्णः स्मृतिमाययौ
tadaṃgasparśanādeva sadyo vidhvastakilbiṣaḥ | sa brahmarākṣaso ghoro viṣaṇṇaḥ smṛtimāyayau
তাঁর দেহস্পর্শমাত্রেই সেই ভয়ংকর ব্রহ্মরাক্ষসের পাপ তৎক্ষণাৎ বিনষ্ট হল; সে দমিত ও বিষণ্ণ হয়ে স্মৃতি ফিরে পেল।
