Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 74
ईश्वर उवाच । एवमुक्त्वा सहस्रांशुस्तत्रैवांतरधीयत । सांबोऽपि निर्जरो भूत्वा द्वारकां पुनरागमत्
īśvara uvāca | evamuktvā sahasrāṃśustatraivāṃtaradhīyata | sāṃbo'pi nirjaro bhūtvā dvārakāṃ punarāgamat
ಈಶ್ವರನು ಹೇಳಿದರು—ಇಂತೆಂದು ಹೇಳಿ ಸಹಸ್ರಾಂಶು (ಸಾವಿರ ಕಿರಣಗಳ ಸೂರ್ಯ) ಅಲ್ಲೀಯೇ ಅಂತರ್ಧಾನನಾದನು. ಸಾಂಬನೂ ಜರಾ-ವ್ಯಾಧಿರಹಿತನಾಗಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ದ್ವಾರಕೆಗೆ ಮರಳಿದನು.
