Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 22
यदहं रूपसंपन्नो वयसा च समन्वितः । कृतो भवद्भ्यां वृद्धः सन्भार्यां च प्राप्तवान्निजाम् । तद्ब्रूतं वै विधास्यामि भवतोर्यदभीप्सितम्

तुमच्यामुळे मी रूपसंपन्न व यौवनयुक्त झालो; पूर्वी वृद्ध असूनही मला माझी पत्नी प्राप्त झाली. म्हणून आता तुम्हा दोघांना जे अभिप्रेत आहे ते सांगा—मी नक्कीच ते पूर्ण करीन.
