Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 47
सृष्टिकाले तु संप्राप्ते वृद्धिकामः सुरेश्वरः । अथ तैः सह ते सर्वे स्तुत्वा तं कमलासनम् । प्रणिपत्य स्थिताः सर्वे पितरो विनयान्विताः
sṛṣṭikāle tu saṃprāpte vṛddhikāmaḥ sureśvaraḥ | atha taiḥ saha te sarve stutvā taṃ kamalāsanam | praṇipatya sthitāḥ sarve pitaro vinayānvitāḥ
Lorsque vint le temps de la création, le Seigneur des dieux, désireux de prospérité, alors—avec eux—loua Celui qui siège sur le lotus (Brahmā). Tous les Pitṛs, empreints d’humilité, se prosternèrent et demeurèrent debout avec respect.
