Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 10
संहर्तुकामो हि क एष देव एतत्समस्तं कथयाप्रमेय । न दृष्टमेतद्विषमं कदापि जानासि तत्त्वं परमो मतो नः
saṃhartukāmo hi ka eṣa deva etatsamastaṃ kathayāprameya | na dṛṣṭametadviṣamaṃ kadāpi jānāsi tattvaṃ paramo mato naḥ
Wahai dewa, siapakah dia yang berhasrat melakukan peleburan? Wahai Yang tidak terukur, jelaskan seluruh hal ini. Belum pernah kami melihat sesuatu yang sedemikian dahsyat; engkau mengetahui hakikat, maka engkaulah kami anggap sebagai otoritas tertinggi.
