Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 106
छायाविहीननिष्पत्तिरिंद्रियाणामदर्शनम् । आकाशगमनं नित्यमिंद्रियादिशमः स्वयम्
chāyāvihīnaniṣpattiriṃdriyāṇāmadarśanam | ākāśagamanaṃ nityamiṃdriyādiśamaḥ svayam
छाया न पडता देह प्रकट होणे, तसेच इंद्रियांचे अदृश्य होणे. नित्य आकाशमार्गे गमन, आणि स्वतःच इंद्रियादींचा शम व वशीकरण प्राप्त होणे.
