Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 64
अयं शिशुश्च कस्ते स्याद्वद तत्त्वेन मे शुभे । पृष्टैवं मुनिना साध्वी तमुवाच महामुनिम्
ayaṃ śiśuśca kaste syādvada tattvena me śubhe | pṛṣṭaivaṃ muninā sādhvī tamuvāca mahāmunim
ഈ ശിശു നിനക്കാർ? ഹേ ശുഭേ, സത്യത്തെ യഥാർത്ഥമായി പറയുക. മുനി ചോദിച്ചതോടെ ആ സാധ്വി ആ മഹാമുനിയോട് പറഞ്ഞു.
