Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 30
जग्मुस्त्रस्तास्तु ते सर्वे शब्दं कृत्वा वनौकसः । स ऋषिः पतितस्तत्र कृष्ण कृष्णेति चाब्रवीत्
jagmustrastāstu te sarve śabdaṃ kṛtvā vanaukasaḥ | sa ṛṣiḥ patitastatra kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇeti cābravīt
ભયભીત થયેલા તે બધા વનવાસીઓ મોટો શબ્દ કરતા ભાગી ગયા. તે ઋષિ ત્યાં પડીને ‘કૃષ્ણ! કૃષ્ણ!’ એમ પોકાર્યો।
