Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 105
सोमेश्वरं देववरं मनुष्या ये भक्तिमंतः शरणं प्रपन्नाः । ते घोररूपे च भयावहे च संसारचक्रे न पुनर्भ्रमंति
someśvaraṃ devavaraṃ manuṣyā ye bhaktimaṃtaḥ śaraṇaṃ prapannāḥ | te ghorarūpe ca bhayāvahe ca saṃsāracakre na punarbhramaṃti
जे मनुष्य भक्तियुक्त होऊन देवश्रेष्ठ सोमेश्वराच्या शरणास जातात, ते घोर व भयावह अशा संसारचक्रात पुन्हा भ्रमण करीत नाहीत.
