Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 9
येषां कृष्णालये प्राणा गता दानवनायक । न तेषां पुनरावृत्तिः कल्पकोटिशतैरपि
yeṣāṃ kṛṣṇālaye prāṇā gatā dānavanāyaka | na teṣāṃ punarāvṛttiḥ kalpakoṭiśatairapi
हे दानवनायक! ज्यांचे प्राण कृष्णाच्या धाम द्वारकेत निघून जातात, त्यांना पुन्हा परत येणे होत नाही—कोट्यवधी कल्पांनंतरही नाही।
