Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 6
अतस्तद्भक्तिलेशस्य माहात्म्यं वर्ण्यते मया । अपि कल्पायुषा नालं वक्तुं विस्तरतः क्वचित्
atastadbhaktileśasya māhātmyaṃ varṇyate mayā | api kalpāyuṣā nālaṃ vaktuṃ vistarataḥ kvacit
म्हणून त्या भक्तीच्या एका लवलेशाचेही माहात्म्य मी सांगतो; कल्पाएवढे आयुष्य असले तरी त्याचे सविस्तर वर्णन पूर्ण होऊ शकत नाही।
