Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 11
अथ ते मुनयः शांताः समलोष्टाश्मकांचनाः । समाः शत्रौ च मित्रे च रोषरागविवर्जिताः
atha te munayaḥ śāṃtāḥ samaloṣṭāśmakāṃcanāḥ | samāḥ śatrau ca mitre ca roṣarāgavivarjitāḥ
तेव्हा ते मुनि शांत होते; मातीचा ढेला, दगड आणि सुवर्ण यांना समान मानत. शत्रू व मित्र यांमध्येही समभाव ठेवून क्रोध व आसक्तीपासून मुक्त होते.
