Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 25
या त्वं विस्मयमापन्ना पुरुषेण विना शिशुः । संजातोऽयं मम प्रांशुस्ततस्तत्कारणं शृणु
yā tvaṃ vismayamāpannā puruṣeṇa vinā śiśuḥ | saṃjāto'yaṃ mama prāṃśustatastatkāraṇaṃ śṛṇu
पुरुषाविना हा शिशु—माझा तेजस्वी पुत्र—जन्मला म्हणून तू विस्मय पावलीस; म्हणून त्याचे कारण ऐक।
