Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 33
एवमुक्त्वा त्रिनेत्रस्तु तत्रैवादर्शनं गतः । तेऽपि तत्राश्रमं कृत्वा श्रद्धया परया युताः । मूर्तीश्च ताः समाराध्य संप्राप्ताः परमं पदम्
evamuktvā trinetrastu tatraivādarśanaṃ gataḥ | te'pi tatrāśramaṃ kṛtvā śraddhayā parayā yutāḥ | mūrtīśca tāḥ samārādhya saṃprāptāḥ paramaṃ padam
かく語り終えると、三つ眼の主はその場で姿を隠された。かの修行者たちは同じ地にアーシュラマを結び、至上の信を具えて諸像を供養し、ついに最高の境地に到った。
