Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 28
अंबरीष उवाच । भगवन्यस्त्वया प्रोक्तो योगोऽयं मम विस्तरात् । दुर्ज्ञेयः स नृणां देव विशेषाच्च कलौ युगे
aṃbarīṣa uvāca | bhagavanyastvayā prokto yogo'yaṃ mama vistarāt | durjñeyaḥ sa nṛṇāṃ deva viśeṣācca kalau yuge
अंबरीष बोले—हे भगवान्, आपने जो यह योग मुझे विस्तार से बताया है, वह मनुष्यों के लिए समझना कठिन है, हे देव—विशेषकर कलियुग में।
