Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 68
यश्चाहं स स्वयं ब्रह्मा यो ब्रह्मा स हुताशनः । या देवी स स्वयं विष्णुर्यो विष्णुः स च चन्द्रमाः
yaścāhaṃ sa svayaṃ brahmā yo brahmā sa hutāśanaḥ | yā devī sa svayaṃ viṣṇuryo viṣṇuḥ sa ca candramāḥ
‘ഞാൻ’ എന്നത് സ്വയം ബ്രഹ്മാവാണ്; ആ ബ്രഹ്മാവേ ഹുതാശനനായ അഗ്നിയും. ദേവി തന്നേ വിഷ്ണുവാണ്; ആ വിഷ്ണുവേ ചന്ദ്രനായി കൂടി പ്രകാശിക്കുന്നു.
