Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 61
कौथुम उवाच । एवं ते वदमानस्य आयुर्भवतु ब्रह्मणः । साध्वी बुद्धिरियं तेऽस्तु कुतो नाध्येष्यतः परम्
kauthuma uvāca | evaṃ te vadamānasya āyurbhavatu brahmaṇaḥ | sādhvī buddhiriyaṃ te'stu kuto nādhyeṣyataḥ param
Kauthuma sprach: „Da du so redest, mögest du die Lebensspanne Brahmās haben. Möge diese edle Einsicht die deine sein—wie solltest du da nicht zu höherem Studium fortschreiten?“
