Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 148
ततोहं परितुष्टोथ वरं प्राप्य महेश्वरात् । कृतकृत्यमिवात्मानं चिंतयामि प्रहर्षितः
tatohaṃ parituṣṭotha varaṃ prāpya maheśvarāt | kṛtakṛtyamivātmānaṃ ciṃtayāmi praharṣitaḥ
Da wurde auch ich völlig zufrieden; nachdem ich den Segen von Maheśvara empfangen hatte, hielt ich mich für einen, der seine Lebensaufgabe erfüllt hat, und jubelte vor Freude.
