Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 31
दूत उवाच । या सा सर्वगता देवी शक्तिरूपा शुचि स्मिता । श्रीमाता जगतां माता देवैराराधिता परा । तेषां तुष्टा च देवी त्वामिदं वचनमब्रवीत्
dūta uvāca | yā sā sarvagatā devī śaktirūpā śuci smitā | śrīmātā jagatāṃ mātā devairārādhitā parā | teṣāṃ tuṣṭā ca devī tvāmidaṃ vacanamabravīt
Le messager dit : «Cette Déesse qui pénètre tout—la Puissance même (Śakti), pure et au sourire doux—Śrīmātā, Mère des mondes, la Suprême que les dieux adorent : satisfaite d’eux, elle t’a adressé ce message.»
