Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 148
ततोहं परितुष्टोथ वरं प्राप्य महेश्वरात् । कृतकृत्यमिवात्मानं चिंतयामि प्रहर्षितः
tatohaṃ parituṣṭotha varaṃ prāpya maheśvarāt | kṛtakṛtyamivātmānaṃ ciṃtayāmi praharṣitaḥ
मग मीही पूर्ण तृप्त झालो; महेश्वराकडून वर मिळवून, हर्षित होऊन मी स्वतःला कृतकृत्य मानू लागलो।
