Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 28
वेदवेदार्थतत्त्वज्ञः कलासु कुशलोऽमलः । पारदृश्वा तु सर्वेषां शास्त्राणां नीतिवित्तमः
vedavedārthatattvajñaḥ kalāsu kuśalo'malaḥ | pāradṛśvā tu sarveṣāṃ śāstrāṇāṃ nītivittamaḥ
तो वेद व वेदार्थाचा तत्त्वज्ञ होता; कलांमध्ये कुशल व निर्मळ होता. सर्व शास्त्रांचा मर्म त्याने जाणला होता आणि नीति-धर्मज्ञानात तो अग्रगण्य होता.
