Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 47
सृष्टिकाले तु संप्राप्ते वृद्धिकामः सुरेश्वरः । अथ तैः सह ते सर्वे स्तुत्वा तं कमलासनम् । प्रणिपत्य स्थिताः सर्वे पितरो विनयान्विताः
sṛṣṭikāle tu saṃprāpte vṛddhikāmaḥ sureśvaraḥ | atha taiḥ saha te sarve stutvā taṃ kamalāsanam | praṇipatya sthitāḥ sarve pitaro vinayānvitāḥ
Als die Zeit der Schöpfung herankam, pries der Herr der Götter, nach Gedeihen verlangend, zusammen mit ihnen allen den Lotos-Sitzenden (Brahmā). Alle Pitṛs, von Demut erfüllt, warfen sich nieder, verneigten sich und standen ehrfürchtig da.
