Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 40
संमोहयन्मूर्तिभिरत्र लोकं स्रष्टा च गोप्ता क्षयकृत्स देवः । तस्मान्न मोहात्मकमाविशेत द्वेषं न कुर्यात्प्रविभिन्नमूर्तिः
saṃmohayanmūrtibhiratra lokaṃ sraṣṭā ca goptā kṣayakṛtsa devaḥ | tasmānna mohātmakamāviśeta dveṣaṃ na kuryātpravibhinnamūrtiḥ
ព្រះដ៏តែមួយនោះឯង បំភាន់លោកនេះដោយរូបមន្តជាច្រើន ដោយក្លាយជាអ្នកបង្កើត អ្នកថែរក្សា និងអ្នកបំផ្លាញ។ ដូច្នេះ មិនគួរចូលទៅក្នុងមោហៈទេ ហើយកុំបង្កើតសេចក្តីស្អប់ ដោយគិតថារូបទាំងនោះពិតជាបែកពីគ្នា។
