Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 6
अहं शक्नोमि नो वक्तुं कस्यचिद्दर्शितुं विभो । त्रिजातोऽस्मीति विज्ञाय भूरिविद्यान्वितोऽपि च
ahaṃ śaknomi no vaktuṃ kasyaciddarśituṃ vibho | trijāto'smīti vijñāya bhūrividyānvito'pi ca
“हे विभो! मी कोणाशी बोलू शकत नाही, कोणाला स्वतःचे दर्शनही देऊ शकत नाही; पुष्कळ विद्या असूनही ‘त्रिजात’ असे कळताच लोक माझ्यापासून दूर होतात.”
Trijāta
