Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 9
दर्शनेनापि तस्यापि पापं याति सहस्रधा । विष्णुरूपो हि स प्रोक्तो नात्र कार्या विचारणा
darśanenāpi tasyāpi pāpaṃ yāti sahasradhā | viṣṇurūpo hi sa prokto nātra kāryā vicāraṇā
त्याचे केवळ दर्शन झाले तरी पाप सहस्रपटीने नष्ट होते। कारण तो विष्णुरूप आहे असे सांगितले आहे—येथे विचार करण्याची गरज नाही।
