Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 30
राधोवाच । भूतानां घातने यस्य नास्ति पापकृतं भयम् । तस्य स्त्रीहनने साध्व्यः शंका कापि न विद्यते
rādhovāca | bhūtānāṃ ghātane yasya nāsti pāpakṛtaṃ bhayam | tasya strīhanane sādhvyaḥ śaṃkā kāpi na vidyate
राधा म्हणाली—जो प्राण्यांच्या वधातही पापाचे भय मानत नाही, हे साध्वींनो, अशा पुरुषाच्या स्त्री-हननाबाबत कोणतीही शंका राहत नाही.
