Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 77
स्वभक्तानां च लोकेषु देवीनां दास्यसे स्थितिम् । बालानां ये भविष्यंति वातपित्तकफोद्भवाः । पिटकास्ताः सुखेनैव शामयिष्यसि पूजनात्
svabhaktānāṃ ca lokeṣu devīnāṃ dāsyase sthitim | bālānāṃ ye bhaviṣyaṃti vātapittakaphodbhavāḥ | piṭakāstāḥ sukhenaiva śāmayiṣyasi pūjanāt
Et dans les mondes de la Déesse et de ses propres dévots, tu accorderas le bien-être. Les furoncles qui naissent chez les enfants du vāta, du pitta et du kapha, tu les apaiseras aisément par le culte qui t’est rendu.
