Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 46
न तस्य विद्यते भागस्तव स्वल्पोऽपि पुत्रक । शुभस्य वाऽथ पापस्य सांप्रतं च तथा मम
na tasya vidyate bhāgastava svalpo'pi putraka | śubhasya vā'tha pāpasya sāṃprataṃ ca tathā mama
पुत्रा, त्या कर्मात तुझा काहीही वाटा नाही—शुभ असो वा पाप, अगदी थोडासाही नाही; तसेच आत्ता तुझ्या कर्मात माझाही वाटा नाही।
