Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 68
यश्चाहं स स्वयं ब्रह्मा यो ब्रह्मा स हुताशनः । या देवी स स्वयं विष्णुर्यो विष्णुः स च चन्द्रमाः
yaścāhaṃ sa svayaṃ brahmā yo brahmā sa hutāśanaḥ | yā devī sa svayaṃ viṣṇuryo viṣṇuḥ sa ca candramāḥ
Der, der «Ich» ist, ist wahrlich Brahmā selbst; und dieser Brahmā ist auch Agni, das Feuer. Auch die Göttin ist in Wahrheit Viṣṇu; und eben dieser Viṣṇu ist auch der Mond. So werden in Prabhāsa die göttlichen Gestalten als eine einzige Wirklichkeit offenbar, die durch viele Kräfte erscheint.
