Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 77
ईश्वर उवाच । एवमुक्ता तदा क्रुद्धा ब्रह्माणं शप्तुमुद्यता । यदि मेऽस्ति तपस्तप्तं गुरवो यदि तोषिताः
īśvara uvāca | evamuktā tadā kruddhā brahmāṇaṃ śaptumudyatā | yadi me'sti tapastaptaṃ guravo yadi toṣitāḥ
ईश्वर म्हणाले—असे बोलल्यावर ती क्रुद्ध झाली आणि ब्रह्माला शाप देण्यास उद्यत झाली—“जर मी खरोखर तप केले असेल, जर माझे गुरु संतुष्ट झाले असतील…”
