Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 138
कुक्कुटी बहुली दिव्यः कामदो भूरिवर्धनः । अमोघोऽमृतदो ह्यग्निः शत्रुघ्नः सर्वमोदनः
kukkuṭī bahulī divyaḥ kāmado bhūrivardhanaḥ | amogho'mṛtado hyagniḥ śatrughnaḥ sarvamodanaḥ
Tu es Kukkuṭī et Bahulī; l’Être divin; le dispensateur des désirs légitimes; l’accroisseur d’abondance. Infaillible, donateur d’une vie semblable à l’ambroisie; le Feu lui-même; le destructeur des ennemis; et celui qui donne la joie à tous.
