Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 82
ईदृशान्येव वक्त्राणि येषां वै संभवंति हि । तैः समेतो यदा कोऽपि नरवर्यो महातपाः । मां पुरस्कृत्य सहसा हनिष्यति न संशयः
īdṛśānyeva vaktrāṇi yeṣāṃ vai saṃbhavaṃti hi | taiḥ sameto yadā ko'pi naravaryo mahātapāḥ | māṃ puraskṛtya sahasā haniṣyati na saṃśayaḥ
«អ្នកណាដែលមានមុខបែបនេះ—ពេលណាមានបុរសឧត្តម មហាតបស្យា មកប្រឈមមុខនឹងគាត់ ដោយដាក់ខ្ញុំឲ្យនៅមុខ គាត់នឹងសម្លាប់គាត់យ៉ាងឆាប់រហ័ស ដោយគ្មានសង្ស័យឡើយ»។
