Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 67
दिवाकरो मित्रविष्णुश्च देव ख्यातस्त्वं वै द्वादशात्मा नमस्ते । लोकत्रयं वै तव गर्भगेहं जलाधारः प्रोच्यसे खं समग्रम्
divākaro mitraviṣṇuśca deva khyātastvaṃ vai dvādaśātmā namaste | lokatrayaṃ vai tava garbhagehaṃ jalādhāraḥ procyase khaṃ samagram
हे देव! तुम दिवाकर, मित्र और विष्णु के रूप में प्रसिद्ध हो; निश्चय ही तुम द्वादशात्मा हो—तुम्हें नमस्कार। तीनों लोक तुम्हारे गर्भ का गृह हैं; तुम जलों के आधार कहे जाते हो, और समग्र आकाश तुम्हारा सर्वव्यापक विस्तार है।
