Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 75
स याति शाङ्करे लोक इति मे सत्यभाषितम् । हयं यो यच्छते तत्र सम्पूर्णं तरुणं सितम्
sa yāti śāṅkare loka iti me satyabhāṣitam | hayaṃ yo yacchate tatra sampūrṇaṃ taruṇaṃ sitam
तो शाङ्कर लोकास जातो—हे माझे सत्य वचन आहे। आणि जो तेथे पूर्ण, तरुण, शुभ्र अश्व दान करतो, तोही तेच श्रेष्ठ फळ प्राप्त करतो।
