Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 50
यतः पद्मभुवा सृष्टं मिथुनं विश्ववृद्धये । तत्तथा परिपाल्यं वै नात्र दोषोऽस्ति कश्चन
yataḥ padmabhuvā sṛṣṭaṃ mithunaṃ viśvavṛddhaye | tattathā paripālyaṃ vai nātra doṣo'sti kaścana
કારણ કે કમળજ બ્રહ્માએ વિશ્વવૃદ્ધિ માટે યુગલ સર્જ્યું છે, તેથી તેને તે પ્રમાણે નિશ્ચયે પાલવું જોઈએ; તેમાં કોઈ દોષ નથી।
