Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 41
राजोवाच । कल्पं हि तिष्ठते चास्थि यावद्भूमिविपर्ययः । उत्तिष्ठ व्रज भद्रं ते प्रभासं क्षेत्रमुत्तमम्
rājovāca | kalpaṃ hi tiṣṭhate cāsthi yāvadbhūmiviparyayaḥ | uttiṣṭha vraja bhadraṃ te prabhāsaṃ kṣetramuttamam
રાજા બોલ્યો—એ અસ્થિ તો એક કલ્પ સુધી, ભૂમિનો વિપરીત ફેરફાર થાય ત્યાં સુધી, ટકી રહે છે. ઊઠો, ચાલો; તમારું મંગળ થાઓ—ઉત્તમ પ્રભાસ ક્ષેત્ર તરફ।
