Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 79
अभेद्यमच्छेद्यमनादिमक्षयं विधिं पुराणं परिपालयन्ति । महामतिस्तानभिपूज्य वै द्विजान्भवेदजेयो दिवि देवराडिव
abhedyamacchedyamanādimakṣayaṃ vidhiṃ purāṇaṃ paripālayanti | mahāmatistānabhipūjya vai dvijānbhavedajeyo divi devarāḍiva
Mereka memelihara tata-aturan purba yang tak terpatahkan, tak terpotong, tanpa awal, dan tak binasa. Orang bijaksana yang memuliakan para dvija (dua kali lahir) menurut vidhi, menjadi tak terkalahkan di surga, laksana Indra, raja para dewa.
