Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 6
सर्वत्र मां रक्षतु विश्वमूर्त्तिर्ज्योतिर्मयानंदघनश्चिदात्मा । अणोरणीयानुरुशक्तिरेकः स ईश्वरः पातु भयादशेषात्
sarvatra māṃ rakṣatu viśvamūrttirjyotirmayānaṃdaghanaścidātmā | aṇoraṇīyānuruśaktirekaḥ sa īśvaraḥ pātu bhayādaśeṣāt
विश्वमूर्ति, ज्योतिर्मय, आनन्दघन, चिदात्मा प्रभु सर्वत्र मेरी रक्षा करें। अणु से भी अणु-तर, अपरिमित शक्ति वाले वही एक ईश्वर मुझे समस्त भय से निःशेष बचाएँ।
