Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 79
अहं वक्ता रमयिता त्वं वाच्या परमेश्वरि । अहं श्रोता च गाता च त्वं गीतिर्गेयमेव च
ahaṃ vaktā ramayitā tvaṃ vācyā parameśvari | ahaṃ śrotā ca gātā ca tvaṃ gītirgeyameva ca
Yo soy quien habla y quien deleita, oh Señora Suprema, y tú eres lo que se dice. Yo soy el oyente y el cantor; tú eres el canto y lo que ha de cantarse—por eso toda expresión y devoción reposan en ti y en mí unidos.
