Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 4
मुक्तिं नेच्छंति यत्रस्थाः कृष्णसेवोत्सुकाः सदा । यत्रत्याश्चैव पाषाणा यत्र क्वापि विमुक्तिदाः
muktiṃ necchaṃti yatrasthāḥ kṛṣṇasevotsukāḥ sadā | yatratyāścaiva pāṣāṇā yatra kvāpi vimuktidāḥ
त्या पवित्र स्थानी वसणारे, जे सदैव कृष्णसेवेस उत्सुक असतात, ते मुक्तीचीही इच्छा करीत नाहीत। तेथील दगडसुद्धा जिथे कुठे असतील तिथेही मोक्ष देणारे होतात।
