Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 84
कृतं संवर्द्धितं शांतं स मे विष्णुः प्रसीदतु । ब्रह्मा विष्णुर्हरो विष्णु रिन्द्रो वायुर्यमोऽनलः
kṛtaṃ saṃvarddhitaṃ śāṃtaṃ sa me viṣṇuḥ prasīdatu | brahmā viṣṇurharo viṣṇu rindro vāyuryamo'nalaḥ
जो सृष्टी करतो, पोसतो आणि शांती देतो, तोच विष्णु माझ्यावर प्रसन्न होवो. ब्रह्मा विष्णु आहे, हरही विष्णु आहे; इंद्र, वायु, यम आणि अग्नि हेही विष्णुच आहेत।
