Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 46
प्रातःकर्म सुरेशानां मध्याह्ने द्विजसेवनम् । अपराह्णेऽथ कार्याणि कुर्वन्मर्त्यः सुखी भवेत्
prātaḥkarma sureśānāṃ madhyāhne dvijasevanam | aparāhṇe'tha kāryāṇi kurvanmartyaḥ sukhī bhavet
ព្រឹកសូមប្រតិបត្តិពិធីបូជាព្រះអម្ចាស់នៃទេវតាទាំងឡាយ; ថ្ងៃត្រង់សូមបម្រើអ្នកទ្វិជៈ (អ្នកកើតពីរដង)។ បន្ទាប់មកពេលរសៀលធ្វើកិច្ចការលោកិយរបស់ខ្លួន—ដូច្នេះមនុស្សស្លាប់បានសុខ។
Skanda (deduced from Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narrative style)
Scene: Triptych-like day cycle: sunrise worship before a shrine; midday offering and respectful attendance to a learned dvija; afternoon the same person engaged in honest work, all under a calm sacred sky.
