Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 41
क्षुन्निद्रा त्वं तृषा त्वं च क्रोधतंद्रादयस्तथा । त्वं शांतिस्त्वं रतिश्चैव त्वं जया विजया तथा
kṣunnidrā tvaṃ tṛṣā tvaṃ ca krodhataṃdrādayastathā | tvaṃ śāṃtistvaṃ ratiścaiva tvaṃ jayā vijayā tathā
তুমিই ক্ষুধা ও নিদ্রা; তুমিই তৃষ্ণা; তদ্রূপ ক্রোধ, তন্দ্রা প্রভৃতিও তুমিই। তুমিই শান্তি, তুমিই রতি; তুমিই জয়া ও বিজয়াও।
