Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 78
त्वां स्मृत्वा प्रणिपत्याथ पूजयित्वा विशेषतः । तस्य संपत्स्यते सिद्धिः सर्वकृत्येषु सर्वदा । इह कापुरुषस्यापि किं पुनः सुभटस्य च
tvāṃ smṛtvā praṇipatyātha pūjayitvā viśeṣataḥ | tasya saṃpatsyate siddhiḥ sarvakṛtyeṣu sarvadā | iha kāpuruṣasyāpi kiṃ punaḥ subhaṭasya ca
汝を念じ、礼拝してひれ伏し、ことさらに篤き信心をもって供養する者は、あらゆる行いにおいて常に成就を得る。ここで臆病者にさえそうなら、まして勇敢なる武者にはいかばかりか。
