Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 140
कुलं पवित्रं जननी कृतार्था वसुन्धरा भाग्यवती च तेन । अवाह्यमार्गे सुखसिन्धुमग्नं लग्नं परे ब्रह्मणि यस्य चेतः
kulaṃ pavitraṃ jananī kṛtārthā vasundharā bhāgyavatī ca tena | avāhyamārge sukhasindhumagnaṃ lagnaṃ pare brahmaṇi yasya cetaḥ
ज्याचे चित्त आनंदसागरात निमग्न होऊन, सर्व लौकिक मार्गांपलीकडील परम ब्रह्मात दृढपणे लागलेले असते—त्याच्यामुळे कुल पवित्र होते, जननी कृतार्थ होते आणि ही वसुंधराही भाग्यवती ठरते।
