Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 14
अथवा पारमाहात्म्ये सति तेषां महात्मनाम् । अल्पे कृते वर्णने स्याद्दोष एव महान्मम
athavā pāramāhātmye sati teṣāṃ mahātmanām | alpe kṛte varṇane syāddoṣa eva mahānmama
Atau, karena para mahātma itu memiliki kemuliaan yang tak berbatas; bila aku melukiskan mereka hanya singkat, sungguh kesalahan besar itu akan menjadi milikku.
