Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 41
कृतश्रमं कृतप्रज्ञं न च तृप्तं समाधितः । नित्यं यत्नात्प्रमत्तं च नारदं तं नमाम्यहम्
kṛtaśramaṃ kṛtaprajñaṃ na ca tṛptaṃ samādhitaḥ | nityaṃ yatnātpramattaṃ ca nāradaṃ taṃ namāmyaham
ज्यांनी परिश्रम केला आहे व प्रज्ञा साधली आहे; जे समाधीतही तृप्त होऊन शिथिल होत नाहीत; आणि जे निरंतर प्रयत्नाने सदैव जागरूक असतात—त्या नारदांना मी नमस्कार करतो।
