Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 41
पश्यतां पश्यतां देवाः सोऽयं वै द्वारकेश्वरः । प्राप्य संदर्शनं यस्य मुक्तानां यत्फलं भवेत् । न विद्यते सहस्रेषु ब्रह्मांडेषु च यत्फलम्
paśyatāṃ paśyatāṃ devāḥ so'yaṃ vai dvārakeśvaraḥ | prāpya saṃdarśanaṃ yasya muktānāṃ yatphalaṃ bhavet | na vidyate sahasreṣu brahmāṃḍeṣu ca yatphalam
കാണുവിൻ, കാണുവിൻ, ഹേ ദേവഗണങ്ങളേ! ഇദ്ദേഹം തന്നെയാണ് ദ്വാരകേശ്വരൻ. ഇദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ സാക്ഷാത് ദർശനം ലഭിച്ചാൽ മുക്തർ അനുഭവിക്കുന്ന ഫലം ഉദിക്കുന്നു; അത്തരം ഫലം ആയിരം ബ്രഹ്മാണ്ഡങ്ങളിലും ഇല്ല.
