Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 4
स्थावरं जंगमं चैव सदृशं च मनोहरम् । जंगमं च जितं तत्र स्थावरेण तथैव च
sthāvaraṃ jaṃgamaṃ caiva sadṛśaṃ ca manoharam | jaṃgamaṃ ca jitaṃ tatra sthāvareṇa tathaiva ca
तेथे स्थावर आणि जंगम—दोन्हीही रूपाने सदृश व अत्यंत मनोहर होते. तेथे जंगमावर जणू स्थावराने विजय मिळविला होता, आणि स्थावरावरही तसाच जंगमाचा विजय भासत होता।
