Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 73
फलं प्राप्स्यसि राजेन्द्र कामिकं मनसेप्सितम् । आशीर्वादांस्ततो दत्त्वा चित्रसेनाय धीमते । स्वर्गं जगाम ससुतस्ततो दीर्घतपा मुनिः
phalaṃ prāpsyasi rājendra kāmikaṃ manasepsitam | āśīrvādāṃstato dattvā citrasenāya dhīmate | svargaṃ jagāma sasutastato dīrghatapā muniḥ
«Ô le meilleur des rois, tu obtiendras le fruit désiré, ce que ton cœur appelle.» Ayant ainsi donné ses bénédictions au sage Citrasena, le muni aux longues austérités s’en alla ensuite au ciel, avec son fils.
