Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 7
तं दृष्ट्वा न जडो नान्धो न दरिद्रो न दुःखितः । न चैवेष्टवियोगी स्यान्न रोगी नैव पापकृत्
taṃ dṛṣṭvā na jaḍo nāndho na daridro na duḥkhitaḥ | na caiveṣṭaviyogī syānna rogī naiva pāpakṛt
അവനെ ദർശിച്ചാൽ മനുഷ്യൻ ജഡബുദ്ധിയാകുകയില്ല, അന്ധനാകുകയില്ല, ദരിദ്രനോ ദുഃഖിതനോ ആകുകയില്ല; പ്രിയവിയോഗവും ഉണ്ടാകില്ല, രോഗിയാകില്ല, പാപകർത്താവും ആകില്ല.
