Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 134
हिरण्यादीन्यदाच्चैव महादानानि षोडश । यो यदर्थयते तत्र सामान्यः प्राकृतो जनः । निजकर्मानुसारेण स लेभे च तदेव हि
hiraṇyādīnyadāccaiva mahādānāni ṣoḍaśa | yo yadarthayate tatra sāmānyaḥ prākṛto janaḥ | nijakarmānusāreṇa sa lebhe ca tadeva hi
ព្រះអង្គបានប្រទានមាស និងទានដ៏អស្ចារ្យផ្សេងៗ—ទានធំដប់ប្រាំមួយ។ អ្វីដែលមនុស្សធម្មតានៅទីនោះសូម ព្រះអង្គក៏ឲ្យបានតាមនោះ ដោយស្របតាមកម្មចាស់របស់ខ្លួន។
