Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 64
तस्यान्यथा वचः कर्तुं शक्यं नान्यैः सुरैरपि । ब्राह्मणाः कुपिता हन्युर्भस्मीकुर्युः स्वतेजसा
tasyānyathā vacaḥ kartuṃ śakyaṃ nānyaiḥ surairapi | brāhmaṇāḥ kupitā hanyurbhasmīkuryuḥ svatejasā
त्यांचे वचन अन्य देवांनाही अन्यथा करणे शक्य नाही. ब्राह्मण क्रोधित झाल्यास ते प्रहार करू शकतात आणि स्वतःच्या तेजाने भस्म करू शकतात.
