Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 123
कोयमंग महादेवो न मन्यामो वयं च तम् । ततः प्रहस्य बालोऽसौ हुंकारं लीलया व्यधात्
koyamaṃga mahādevo na manyāmo vayaṃ ca tam | tataḥ prahasya bālo'sau huṃkāraṃ līlayā vyadhāt
«Qui donc est ce “Mahādeva” ? Nous ne le reconnaissons nullement !» Alors ce divin Enfant, souriant, laissa échapper, comme en jeu, un unique « huṃ ».
