Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 26
अरिभिः परिभूतं वा यस्त्यजति स पापकृत् । तद्भार्यापुत्रमित्रेषु यश्चावज्ञां करोति वा
aribhiḥ paribhūtaṃ vā yastyajati sa pāpakṛt | tadbhāryāputramitreṣu yaścāvajñāṃ karoti vā
શત્રુઓ દ્વારા અપમાનિત થયેલા ગુરુને જે ત્યજે છે તે પાપકર્તા કહેવાય. તેમજ જે પત્ની, પુત્ર અને મિત્ર પ્રત્યે અવજ્ઞા કરે છે તે પણ દોષી બને છે.
