Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 48
तस्माद्गच्छ सहस्राक्ष कुरु राज्यं त्रिविष्टपे । भूयोऽप्यत्रैव देवेश द्रष्टव्योऽस्मि न संशयः । कार्यकाले समायाते श्वेतद्वीपे यथा तथा

म्हणून, हे सहस्राक्षा! त्रिविष्टप (स्वर्ग) येथे जाऊन राज्य कर. हे देवेश! कार्यकाळ आला की तू मला इथेच निःसंशय पुन्हा दर्शन करशील—जसे श्वेतद्वीपात करतोस तसेच.
