Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 74
एतत्स्तोत्रद्वयं जप्यं त्यक्त्वा स्तोत्राण्यनेकशः । प्रपंच आवयोरेव सर्व एष चराचरः
etatstotradvayaṃ japyaṃ tyaktvā stotrāṇyanekaśaḥ | prapaṃca āvayoreva sarva eṣa carācaraḥ
अनेक स्तोत्रों को छोड़कर इस स्तोत्र-द्वय का ही जप करना चाहिए; क्योंकि यह समस्त चराचर जगत् वास्तव में उन्हीं दो (देव-तत्त्वों) का प्रपञ्च-रूप प्राकट्य है।
