Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 8
ईश्वर उवाच । जन्मजीवितमध्ये तु यद्येका लभ्यते नरैः । संयोगयुक्ता सा षष्ठी तत्किं देवि ब्रवीम्यहम्
īśvara uvāca | janmajīvitamadhye tu yadyekā labhyate naraiḥ | saṃyogayuktā sā ṣaṣṭhī tatkiṃ devi bravīmyaham
ព្រះអីស្វរ មានព្រះបន្ទូលថា៖ «ក្នុងចន្លោះកំណើត និងជីវិតរបស់មនុស្ស បើបានសស្ឋីបែបនេះ សូម្បីតែមួយ ដែលប្រកបដោយសញ្ញាសម្រស់ល្អ—តើខ្ញុំអាចនិយាយអ្វីបន្ថែមទៀតបានទេ មហាទេវី?»
