Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 126
पुलस्त्य उवाच । ऋत्विजः सकला देवाः संस्थिताः कौतुकान्विताः । उत्तिष्ठंतु च ते शीघ्रं यज्ञकर्मप्रसिद्धये
pulastya uvāca | ṛtvijaḥ sakalā devāḥ saṃsthitāḥ kautukānvitāḥ | uttiṣṭhaṃtu ca te śīghraṃ yajñakarmaprasiddhaye
പുലസ്ത്യൻ പറഞ്ഞു—ഋത്വിജന്മാരും സർവ്വദേവന്മാരും കൗതുകത്തോടെ സമവേതരായിരിക്കുന്നു. യജ്ഞകർമ്മം സിദ്ധിയായി പൂർത്തിയാകുവാൻ നിങ്ങൾ शीഘ്രം എഴുന്നേൽക്കുക।
