Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 5
अद्य मे भ्रांतिरुच्छिन्ना तीर्थभ्रमणसंभवा । प्रभासे निश्चलं जातं मनो मे मानिनां वर
adya me bhrāṃtirucchinnā tīrthabhramaṇasaṃbhavā | prabhāse niścalaṃ jātaṃ mano me mānināṃ vara
તીર્થથી તીર્થ ભ્રમણથી ઉપજેલી મારી ભ્રાંતિ આજે છિન્ન થઈ ગઈ. હે માનનીયોમાં શ્રેષ્ઠ, પ્રભાસમાં મારું મન નિશ્ચલ બની ગયું છે.
