Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 5
प्रत्यक्षः प्रददौ तेभ्यस्त्वभीष्टं वरमुत्तमम् । ततः स्वनाम्ना संस्थाप्य वसवस्तं महेश्वरम् । जग्मुराकाशमाविश्य प्रसन्ने सति शङ्करे

Se manifestant devant eux, il leur accorda l’excellent don qu’ils désiraient. Puis les Vasus établirent ce Maheśvara sous leur propre nom; et, Śaṅkara étant satisfait, ils s’en allèrent, entrant dans le ciel.
