Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 132
निश्चयं तु परं धृत्वा येऽपि स्तोष्यंति भास्करम् । ततस्तेऽपि प्रयास्यंति निर्भिद्य रविमंडलम्
niścayaṃ tu paraṃ dhṛtvā ye'pi stoṣyaṃti bhāskaram | tataste'pi prayāsyaṃti nirbhidya ravimaṃḍalam
សូម្បីតែអ្នកដែលកាន់ចិត្តសម្រេចដ៏ខ្ពង់ខ្ពស់ ហើយសរសើរ ព្រះភាស្ករ (ព្រះអាទិត្យ) ដោយស្មោះ—ពួកគេក៏នឹងចេញដំណើរទៅមុខ ដូចជាចោះកាត់រង្វង់ព្រះអាទិត្យ។
