Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 70
हृदयस्थे च चक्रांके पूतो भवति तत्क्षणात् । नोपसर्पंति तं भीता दूताः कृष्णायुधं तदा । वैष्णवं लोकमा प्नोति नात्र कार्या विचारणा
hṛdayasthe ca cakrāṃke pūto bhavati tatkṣaṇāt | nopasarpaṃti taṃ bhītā dūtāḥ kṛṣṇāyudhaṃ tadā | vaiṣṇavaṃ lokamā pnoti nātra kāryā vicāraṇā
Wenn das Cakra-Zeichen im Herzen weilt, wird man in eben diesem Augenblick geläutert. Dann wagen sich die furchterregenden Boten nicht zu nähern, denn dort ist Krishnas Waffe gegenwärtig. Er gelangt in die vaiṣṇavische Welt — weiteres Abwägen ist unnötig.
