Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 36
गायमानो भगवतः प्रादुर्भावाननेकधा । नृत्यद्भिर्हर्षसंयुक्तैर्हृष्यमाणः पुनःपुनः । स्वयं नृत्यन्हर्षयुक्तो भक्तो गच्छेद्धरेः पुरम्
gāyamāno bhagavataḥ prādurbhāvānanekadhā | nṛtyadbhirharṣasaṃyuktairhṛṣyamāṇaḥ punaḥpunaḥ | svayaṃ nṛtyanharṣayukto bhakto gaccheddhareḥ puram
भगवान् के अनेक प्रादुर्भावों का गान करता हुआ, हर्ष से नाचते भक्तों के बीच बार-बार आनन्दित होता है; और स्वयं भी उल्लासपूर्वक नृत्य करता हुआ भक्त हरि के नगर—उनके दिव्य धाम—को प्राप्त होता है।
