Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 6
स ब्रह्मलोकं प्रजगाम शब्दो ब्रह्माण्डभाण्डं प्रचचाल सर्वम् । किमेतदित्याकुलचेतनास्ते वित्रस्तरूपा ऋषयो बभूवुः
sa brahmalokaṃ prajagāma śabdo brahmāṇḍabhāṇḍaṃ pracacāla sarvam | kimetadityākulacetanāste vitrastarūpā ṛṣayo babhūvuḥ
એ શબ્દ બ્રહ્મલોક સુધી પહોંચ્યો અને સમગ્ર બ્રહ્માંડ-રૂપ પાત્ર કંપી ઊઠ્યું. ‘આ શું છે?’ એમ વિચારી તે ઋષિઓ મનથી વ્યાકુળ થઈ ભયગ્રસ્ત રૂપ ધારણ કર્યા।
