Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 42
तद्ब्रवीतु महा सेन स्वयं साक्षी महेश्वरः । एवं वदति गोविंदे साधुवादो महानभूत्
tadbravītu mahā sena svayaṃ sākṣī maheśvaraḥ | evaṃ vadati goviṃde sādhuvādo mahānabhūt
મહાસેન જ આ વાત કહો; સ્વયં મહેશ્વર પ્રત્યક્ષ સાક્ષી છે. ગોવિંદે આમ કહ્યે ત્યારે “સાધુ! સાધુ!” એવો મહાન્ પ્રશંસાધ્વનિ ઊઠ્યો.
