Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 30
ततः सजीवतां प्राप्य हरवाक्येन तं तदा । विशेषेण महाराज नायकोऽसौ कृतः क्षितौ । सर्वेषां चैव मर्त्यानां ततः ख्यातो बभूव ह
tataḥ sajīvatāṃ prāpya haravākyena taṃ tadā | viśeṣeṇa mahārāja nāyako'sau kṛtaḥ kṣitau | sarveṣāṃ caiva martyānāṃ tataḥ khyāto babhūva ha
त्यानंतर हराच्या वचनाने त्याला जीवन प्राप्त झाले; आणि हे महाराजा! त्याच वेळी पृथ्वीवर त्याला विशेषतः ‘नायक’ करण्यात आले; पुढे तो सर्व मर्त्यांमध्ये प्रसिद्ध झाला।
