Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 45
ततस्तौ हर्षितौ तत्र पितरौ हि व्यवस्थितौ । प्रेक्षमाणौ सुतायास्तां पूजां जनविनिर्मिताम् । मन्यमानौ तदात्मानमधिकं सर्व देहिनाम्
tatastau harṣitau tatra pitarau hi vyavasthitau | prekṣamāṇau sutāyāstāṃ pūjāṃ janavinirmitām | manyamānau tadātmānamadhikaṃ sarva dehinām
त्यानंतर ते दोघे माता-पिता तेथे हर्षित होऊन उभे राहिले, लोकांनी आपल्या कन्येसाठी रचलेली पूजा पाहात; आणि तिची अवस्था सर्व देहधाऱ्यांपेक्षा श्रेष्ठ आहे असे मानू लागले।
