Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 148
ततोहं परितुष्टोथ वरं प्राप्य महेश्वरात् । कृतकृत्यमिवात्मानं चिंतयामि प्रहर्षितः
tatohaṃ parituṣṭotha varaṃ prāpya maheśvarāt | kṛtakṛtyamivātmānaṃ ciṃtayāmi praharṣitaḥ
Alors moi aussi je fus pleinement comblé ; ayant reçu la grâce de Maheśvara, je me tins pour un être dont le but de la vie était accompli, dans une joie exultante.
Narrator (devotee)
