Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 70
निमीलिताक्षः सत्त्वस्थो दंतैर्दंतान्न संस्पृशेत् । तालुस्थाचलजिह्वश्च संवृतास्यः सुनिश्चलः
nimīlitākṣaḥ sattvastho daṃtairdaṃtānna saṃspṛśet | tālusthācalajihvaśca saṃvṛtāsyaḥ suniścalaḥ
ដោយបិទភ្នែកយ៉ាងទន់ភ្លន់ និងតាំងនៅក្នុងសត្តវៈដ៏ស្ងប់ច្បាស់ មិនគួរច្របាច់ធ្មេញឲ្យតឹង; រក្សាអណ្តាតឲ្យនឹង ដាក់សម្រាកលើមេឃមាត់; បិទមាត់ ហើយស្ថិតនៅដោយអស្ចារ្យនឹងស្ងៀមស្ងាត់។
