Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 106
त्वया विनाऽहं न क्वास्मि न त्वं देवि मया विना । चंद्रचंद्रिकयोर्यद्वदग्नेरुष्णत्वमेव हि
tvayā vinā'haṃ na kvāsmi na tvaṃ devi mayā vinā | caṃdracaṃdrikayoryadvadagneruṣṇatvameva hi
तुझ्याविना मी कुठेच नाही, आणि माझ्याविना, हे देवि, तूही कुठेच नाहीस. जसे चंद्र आणि चांदणे अविभाज्य, तसेच अग्नी आणि उष्णता—तसेच आपण.
