Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 6
स्कंद उवाच । स्वामिन्निंद्रादयो देवा ब्रह्माद्याश्चैव सर्वशः । तव द्वारे समायातान्त्वद्दर्शनैकलालसाः । किमाज्ञापयसे देव करवाणि तवाग्रतः
skaṃda uvāca | svāminniṃdrādayo devā brahmādyāścaiva sarvaśaḥ | tava dvāre samāyātāntvaddarśanaikalālasāḥ | kimājñāpayase deva karavāṇi tavāgrataḥ
Skanda sprach: O Meister, Indra und die übrigen Devas—Brahmā und alle anderen ebenso—sind an Dein Tor gekommen, einzig nach Deiner heiligen Schau verlangend. O Herr, was befiehlst Du? Was soll ich vor Dir tun?
