Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 10
संहर्तुकामो हि क एष देव एतत्समस्तं कथयाप्रमेय । न दृष्टमेतद्विषमं कदापि जानासि तत्त्वं परमो मतो नः
saṃhartukāmo hi ka eṣa deva etatsamastaṃ kathayāprameya | na dṛṣṭametadviṣamaṃ kadāpi jānāsi tattvaṃ paramo mato naḥ
Ô dieu, qui est donc celui qui désire la dissolution ? Expose toute cette affaire, ô Incommensurable. Jamais nous n’avons vu chose si terrible ; tu connais la vérité, c’est pourquoi nous te tenons pour l’autorité suprême.
