Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 30
तस्मात्कृतस्मरो लोके कीर्त्यते स महीतले । तं दृष्ट्वा न जडो नांधो नासुखी न च दुर्भगः । जायते तु कदा मर्त्यो न दरिद्रो न रोगवान्
tasmātkṛtasmaro loke kīrtyate sa mahītale | taṃ dṛṣṭvā na jaḍo nāṃdho nāsukhī na ca durbhagaḥ | jāyate tu kadā martyo na daridro na rogavān
অতএব তিনি পৃথিবীতে ও জগতে ‘কৃতস্মর’ নামে কীর্তিত। সেই পবিত্র স্থান দর্শন করলে কোনো মর্ত্য কখনও জড়, অন্ধ, দুঃখী বা দুর্ভাগা হয়ে জন্মায় না; দারিদ্র্য বা রোগ নিয়েও জন্মায় না।
