Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 36
मात्राहूतोपि बहुशः स पूजासक्तमानसः । बालोपि भोजनं नच्छत्तदा माता स्वयं ययौ
mātrāhūtopi bahuśaḥ sa pūjāsaktamānasaḥ | bālopi bhojanaṃ nacchattadā mātā svayaṃ yayau
Walau ibunya berkali-kali memanggil, batinnya tetap tenggelam dalam pemujaan; meski masih kanak-kanak, ia tidak pergi makan—maka sang ibu sendiri datang ke sana.
