Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 8
सर्वमेव हरिप्रीत्या यः करोति स मुक्तिभाक् । वर्णाश्रमविधेर्मूर्तिः सत्यो विष्णुः सनातनः
sarvameva hariprītyā yaḥ karoti sa muktibhāk | varṇāśramavidhermūrtiḥ satyo viṣṇuḥ sanātanaḥ
જે હરિની પ્રીતિ માટે સર્વ કર્મ કરે છે, તે મુક્તિનો ભાગી બને છે. સત્ય અને સનાતન વિષ્ણુ જ વર્ણાશ્રમવિધિનું સాక్షાત્ સ્વરૂપ છે।
Brahmā (deduced from nearby dialogue context in this adhyāya)
Scene: A montage: householders, ascetics, and pilgrims each performing their duties—study, charity, service, worship—while a subtle Viṣṇu presence (a radiant form or emblem) pervades, indicating He is the 'mūrti' of dharma.
