Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 6
स्वागतं ते मुनिश्रेष्ठ भूयः सुस्वागतं च ते । नान्यो धन्यतमो लोके भूयोऽस्ति सदृशो मया
svāgataṃ te muniśreṣṭha bhūyaḥ susvāgataṃ ca te | nānyo dhanyatamo loke bhūyo'sti sadṛśo mayā
हे मुनिश्रेष्ठ, आपले स्वागत आहे; पुन्हा आपले अत्यंत सुस्वागत आहे। या लोकी माझ्याहून अधिक धन्य कोणी नाही, कारण आपले आगमन हेच माझे अनुपम सौभाग्य आहे।
