Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 73
तस्मिन्ननिश्चयं कृत्वा कथं सिद्धिर्भवेदिह । मम जन्मकृतात्पुण्यादभिज्ञानं ददौ हरिः
tasminnaniścayaṃ kṛtvā kathaṃ siddhirbhavediha | mama janmakṛtātpuṇyādabhijñānaṃ dadau hariḥ
Si l’on nourrit l’incertitude à ce sujet, comment l’accomplissement pourrait-il advenir ici ? Par le mérite acquis dès ma naissance même, Hari m’a accordé la vraie reconnaissance (le discernement).
