Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 11
हरश्चैवार्द्धदेहेन विष्णुरर्द्धेन चाभवत् । एकतो विष्णुचिह्नानि हरचिह्नानि चैकतः
haraścaivārddhadehena viṣṇurarddhena cābhavat | ekato viṣṇucihnāni haracihnāni caikataḥ
देहाच्या एका अर्धाने तो हर (शिव) झाला आणि दुसऱ्या अर्धाने विष्णू झाला. एका बाजूस विष्णूची चिन्हे, तर दुसऱ्या बाजूस हराची चिन्हे होती.
