Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 18
ततः कालेन महता ते सर्वे मुनिपुंगवाः । ध्यानात्त्रिलोचनस्यैव अदृष्टे तु महेश्वरे
tataḥ kālena mahatā te sarve munipuṃgavāḥ | dhyānāttrilocanasyaiva adṛṣṭe tu maheśvare
त्यानंतर बराच काळ गेल्यावर ते सर्व मुनिपुंगव—महेश्वर प्रत्यक्ष न दिसताही—केवळ त्रिलोचन प्रभूच्या ध्यानाने अद्भुत अवस्थेस प्राप्त झाले।
