Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 4
तस्माद्विमृश्य भोः सूत संशयं छेत्तुमर्हसि । व्यासप्रसादात्सकलं जानासि त्वं न चापरः
tasmādvimṛśya bhoḥ sūta saṃśayaṃ chettumarhasi | vyāsaprasādātsakalaṃ jānāsi tvaṃ na cāparaḥ
অতএব হে সূত! সুসম্যক চিন্তা করে এই সংশয় ছেদন করো। ব্যাসের প্রসাদে তুমি সর্বজ্ঞ; তোমার মতো আর কেউ উপযুক্ত নয়।
