Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 32
द्विज उवाच । न विचारस्त्वया कार्यः कृता यज्ञा न संशयः । यदि वेदाः प्रमाणं तं भुवि देवा द्विजास्तथा
dvija uvāca | na vicārastvayā kāryaḥ kṛtā yajñā na saṃśayaḥ | yadi vedāḥ pramāṇaṃ taṃ bhuvi devā dvijāstathā
द्विज म्हणाला—“तुम्ही याविषयी विचार करू नका; यज्ञ निःसंशय झाले आहेत. वेद जर प्रमाण असतील, तर पृथ्वीवर देव आणि ब्राह्मण हे दोघेही त्या सत्याचे साक्षी आहेत।”
