Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 24
ईश्वर उवाच । स्वप्नेऽपि त्रिदशाः सर्वे न योद्धव्याः कदाचन । असंभाव्यं न वक्तव्यं मनसो यन्न रोचते
īśvara uvāca | svapne'pi tridaśāḥ sarve na yoddhavyāḥ kadācana | asaṃbhāvyaṃ na vaktavyaṃ manaso yanna rocate
ईश्वर म्हणाला— “स्वप्नातही कधी सर्व त्रिदश देवांशी युद्ध करू नये. जे असंभव आहे ते बोलू नये, आणि जे मनाला रुचत नाही तेही उच्चारू नये।”
