Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 17
न तेन रहितो मर्त्ये मुहूर्तमपि चोत्सहे । स्थातुं राक्षसशार्दूल बांधवेन महात्मना
na tena rahito martye muhūrtamapi cotsahe | sthātuṃ rākṣasaśārdūla bāṃdhavena mahātmanā
ដោយគ្មានគាត់ ខ្ញុំមិនអាចអត់ធ្មត់នៅក្នុងលោកមនុស្ស សូម្បីតែមួយភ្លែតបានទេ ឱ សត្វខ្លារបស់ពួករក្សស! ដោយគ្មានសាច់ញាតិដ៏មានព្រះហឫទ័យធំនោះ។
