Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 49
वयं त्वां नैव जानीमस्त्वं चास्माञ्जन्मकालतः । अत्र वासश्च ते पुत्र भैमेः कृष्णाच्च संश्रुतः
vayaṃ tvāṃ naiva jānīmastvaṃ cāsmāñjanmakālataḥ | atra vāsaśca te putra bhaimeḥ kṛṣṇācca saṃśrutaḥ
हम तुम्हें बिल्कुल पहचान न सके, और तुम भी जन्म से हमें नहीं जानते; पर हे पुत्र, यहाँ तुम्हारे निवास का वचन भीम की ओर से और कृष्णा (द्रौपदी) ने भी दिया है।
