Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 14
निकृंतनं कर्मणश्च ह्यात्मना दुष्कृतं कृतम् । व्यपोहति न संदेहो येन जागरणं कृतम् । संक्षेपतः प्रवक्ष्यामि पुनरेव महीपते । जागरे पद्मनाभस्य यत्फलं कवयो विदुः
nikṛṃtanaṃ karmaṇaśca hyātmanā duṣkṛtaṃ kṛtam | vyapohati na saṃdeho yena jāgaraṇaṃ kṛtam | saṃkṣepataḥ pravakṣyāmi punareva mahīpate | jāgare padmanābhasya yatphalaṃ kavayo viduḥ
ജാഗരണം ചെയ്തവൻ സ്വയം ചെയ്ത ദുഷ്കൃത്യങ്ങളെ മുറിച്ചെറിഞ്ഞ് നീക്കുന്നു—ഇതിൽ സംശയമില്ല। ഹേ മഹീപതേ! പദ്മനാഭന്റെ ജാഗരണഫലം ഋഷികൾ അറിഞ്ഞതുപോലെ ഞാൻ വീണ്ടും സംക്ഷേപമായി പറയുന്നു।
