Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 67
एकचित्ततया योगो ब्रह्मज्ञानसमुद्भवः । नान्यथा भविता मे स ततश्चित्तनिरोधनम् । करोमि ब्रह्मसंसिद्ध्यै ततो मेऽसौ भविष्यति
ekacittatayā yogo brahmajñānasamudbhavaḥ | nānyathā bhavitā me sa tataścittanirodhanam | karomi brahmasaṃsiddhyai tato me'sau bhaviṣyati
एकचित्ततेने ब्रह्मज्ञानातून योग उत्पन्न होतो; अन्यथा तो मला प्राप्त होणार नाही. म्हणून ब्रह्मसिद्धीसाठी मी चित्तनिरोध करीत आहे; तेव्हा ती अनुभूती निश्चयाने माझी होईल।
