Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 73
तव प्रसादतो विप्र स हतो राक्षसो मया । मुक्तशापोऽस्मि संजातः परं शृणु वचो मुने
tava prasādato vipra sa hato rākṣaso mayā | muktaśāpo'smi saṃjātaḥ paraṃ śṛṇu vaco mune
ដោយព្រះគុណរបស់លោក ព្រះព្រាហ្មណ៍ អារក្សនោះត្រូវខ្ញុំសម្លាប់ហើយ។ ខ្ញុំបានរួចផុតពីបណ្ដាសា; ឥឡូវនេះ សូមព្រះមុនីស្តាប់ពាក្យបន្តរបស់ខ្ញុំ។
