Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 14
सुभिक्षे चापि संप्राप्ते नान्यत्कर्म करोति सः । ब्राह्मीं वृत्तिं परित्यक्त्वा चौर्यकर्म समाचरत्
subhikṣe cāpi saṃprāpte nānyatkarma karoti saḥ | brāhmīṃ vṛttiṃ parityaktvā cauryakarma samācarat
ទោះបីសេចក្តីសម្បូរបែប និងសុខសាន្តបានត្រឡប់មកវិញក្តី គាត់ក៏មិនធ្វើការងារផ្សេងទៀតឡើយ។ បោះបង់ជីវិតចិញ្ចឹមត្រឹមត្រូវរបស់ព្រះព្រាហ្មណ៍ ហើយបន្តប្រកបការលួច។
