Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 101
प्राह चैवं सुदुर्बुद्धे हन्मि त्वां पश्य मे बलम् । देवानां चापि धर्माणां मूलं मतिमतां तथा । हत्वा त्वामद्य सर्वांस्तांश्छेत्स्ये पश्याद्य मे बलम्
prāha caivaṃ sudurbuddhe hanmi tvāṃ paśya me balam | devānāṃ cāpi dharmāṇāṃ mūlaṃ matimatāṃ tathā | hatvā tvāmadya sarvāṃstāṃśchetsye paśyādya me balam
