Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 13
लोमश उवाच । कूर्म युक्तमिदं सर्वं त्वयाभिहितमद्य नः । धर्मशास्त्रोपनतं तत्स्मारिताः स्म पुरातनम्
lomaśa uvāca | kūrma yuktamidaṃ sarvaṃ tvayābhihitamadya naḥ | dharmaśāstropanataṃ tatsmāritāḥ sma purātanam
ലോമശൻ പറഞ്ഞു—ഹേ കൂർമാ! ഇന്ന് നീ ഞങ്ങളോട് പറഞ്ഞതെല്ലാം യുക്തമാണ്। അത് ധർമ്മശാസ്ത്രങ്ങൾക്ക് അനുയോജ്യവും, പുരാതന ഉപദേശം ഞങ്ങളെ ഓർമ്മിപ്പിക്കുന്നതുമാണ്।
