Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 67
शंकर उवाच । श्रृणुष्वावहितो भूत्वा परमार्धयुतं वचः । यस्य श्रवणमात्रेण ज्ञातव्यं नावशिष्यते
śaṃkara uvāca | śrṛṇuṣvāvahito bhūtvā paramārdhayutaṃ vacaḥ | yasya śravaṇamātreṇa jñātavyaṃ nāvaśiṣyate
शंकर म्हणाले—पूर्ण सावधान होऊन परमार्थयुक्त हे वचन ऐक; ज्याचे केवळ श्रवण केल्याने जाणण्यासारखे काहीही उरात नाही।
