Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 115
व्रजन्ति वैष्णवं लोकं दत्त्वा पादं यमोपरि । प्राणत्यागात्परं लोकं वैष्णवं नात्र संशयः । भित्त्वाशु भास्करं यान्ति नात्र कार्या विचारणा
vrajanti vaiṣṇavaṃ lokaṃ dattvā pādaṃ yamopari | prāṇatyāgātparaṃ lokaṃ vaiṣṇavaṃ nātra saṃśayaḥ | bhittvāśu bhāskaraṃ yānti nātra kāryā vicāraṇā
Mereka menuju alam Vaiṣṇava, seolah-olah memijak Yama (maut) sendiri. Setelah nafas kehidupan dilepaskan, mereka pasti mencapai dhāma Vaiṣṇava—tiada keraguan. Dengan segera menembusi lingkup matahari, mereka meneruskan perjalanan; tidak perlu pertimbangan lagi.
