Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 14
निकृंतनं कर्मणश्च ह्यात्मना दुष्कृतं कृतम् । व्यपोहति न संदेहो येन जागरणं कृतम् । संक्षेपतः प्रवक्ष्यामि पुनरेव महीपते । जागरे पद्मनाभस्य यत्फलं कवयो विदुः
nikṛṃtanaṃ karmaṇaśca hyātmanā duṣkṛtaṃ kṛtam | vyapohati na saṃdeho yena jāgaraṇaṃ kṛtam | saṃkṣepataḥ pravakṣyāmi punareva mahīpate | jāgare padmanābhasya yatphalaṃ kavayo viduḥ
ज्याने जागर केला आहे तो स्वतःकडून घडलेली दुष्कर्मे छेदून दूर करतो—यात संशय नाही। हे महीपते! पद्मनाभाच्या जागराचे फळ जे कविजन जाणतात, ते मी पुन्हा संक्षेपाने सांगतो।
