Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 24
या त्वं मदशयं ज्ञात्वा प्राप्तेह वरवर्णिनि । त्वया विरहितः शून्यं मन्योस्मिन्भुवनत्रये
yā tvaṃ madaśayaṃ jñātvā prāpteha varavarṇini | tvayā virahitaḥ śūnyaṃ manyosminbhuvanatraye
हे वरवर्णिनी! तुमने मेरे हृदय का भाव जानकर यहाँ आगमन किया है। तुम्हारे बिना मैं इस समस्त त्रिभुवन को भी शून्य ही मानता हूँ।
