Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 46
इति प्रसाद्य देवेशं शबरी दृढनिश्चया । विवेश ज्वलितं वह्निं भस्मसादभवत्क्षणात्
iti prasādya deveśaṃ śabarī dṛḍhaniścayā | viveśa jvalitaṃ vahniṃ bhasmasādabhavatkṣaṇāt
បន្ទាប់ពីបានអង្វរព្រះគុណពីព្រះអម្ចាស់នៃទេវតា សបរីដែលមានចិត្តមាំមួន បានចូលទៅក្នុងភ្លើងកំពុងឆេះរលោង ហើយភ្លាមៗក៏ក្លាយជាផេះ។
