Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 70
हृदयस्थे च चक्रांके पूतो भवति तत्क्षणात् । नोपसर्पंति तं भीता दूताः कृष्णायुधं तदा । वैष्णवं लोकमा प्नोति नात्र कार्या विचारणा
hṛdayasthe ca cakrāṃke pūto bhavati tatkṣaṇāt | nopasarpaṃti taṃ bhītā dūtāḥ kṛṣṇāyudhaṃ tadā | vaiṣṇavaṃ lokamā pnoti nātra kāryā vicāraṇā
