Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 20
आनयामास राजाऽसौ ततो विप्राननेकशः । वेदवेदांगतत्त्वज्ञान्धर्मशास्त्रविचक्षणान् । उवाच विनयोपेतो भार्यया सहितो हितान्

त्यानंतर त्या राजाने अनेक ब्राह्मणांना आणले—वेद-वेदांगांचे तत्त्व जाणणारे आणि धर्मशास्त्रात निपुण. तो विनयाने युक्त होऊन, राणीसमवेत, त्या हितैषींना संबोधू लागला.
