Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 23
परं यस्माद्विशुद्धैषा मया दग्धा न सा द्विज । कारणं तच्च ते वच्मि शृणुष्वैकमनाः स्थितः
paraṃ yasmādviśuddhaiṣā mayā dagdhā na sā dvija | kāraṇaṃ tacca te vacmi śṛṇuṣvaikamanāḥ sthitaḥ
પરંતુ હવે તે વિશુદ્ધ થઈ છે; તેથી, હે દ્વિજ, મેં તેને દગ્ધ કરી નથી. તેનું કારણ હું તને કહું છું—એકાગ્ર ચિત્તે સ્થિર રહી સાંભળ.
