Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 11
पादसंवाहनं भक्त्या कुर्वंतौ दैवचो दितौ । कल्पयित्वा तु शुश्रूषां प्रीणयामासतुश्चिरम्
pādasaṃvāhanaṃ bhaktyā kurvaṃtau daivaco ditau | kalpayitvā tu śuśrūṣāṃ prīṇayāmāsatuściram
जणू दैवी प्रेरणेने, ते दोघे भक्तीने त्याचे पादसंवाहन करू लागले; सेवा-शुश्रूषा रचून त्यांनी त्यास दीर्घकाळ प्रसन्न केले।
