Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 31
ईश्वर उवाच । यदि दास्ये वरं देवि इच्छाभूतं कदाचन । ततो न मंस्यते विष्णुं न ब्रह्माणं न मामपि
īśvara uvāca | yadi dāsye varaṃ devi icchābhūtaṃ kadācana | tato na maṃsyate viṣṇuṃ na brahmāṇaṃ na māmapi
ईश्वर म्हणाले—हे देवि, जर मी कधी त्याच्या इच्छेनुसारच वर दिला, तर पुढे तो ना विष्णूचा मान ठेवील, ना ब्रह्म्याचा, ना माझाही।
