Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 10
शांडिल्युवाच । मनसापि मया ध्यातं शुभं वा यदिवाऽशुभम् । नान्यथा जायते देव विशेषात्कोपयुक्तया
śāṃḍilyuvāca | manasāpi mayā dhyātaṃ śubhaṃ vā yadivā'śubham | nānyathā jāyate deva viśeṣātkopayuktayā
শাণ্ডিল্য বললেন—হে দেব, মনে যা-ই আমি ধ্যান করেছি—শুভ হোক বা অশুভ—তা অন্যথা হয় না, বিশেষত ক্রোধ যুক্ত থাকলে।
