Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 10
ताभ्यां च पूजितः सोऽथ योगीशो हृष्टमानसः । तं राजपुत्रमुद्दिश्य बभाषे करुणार्द्रधीः
tābhyāṃ ca pūjitaḥ so'tha yogīśo hṛṣṭamānasaḥ | taṃ rājaputramuddiśya babhāṣe karuṇārdradhīḥ
Setelah dipuja oleh mereka berdua, penghulu para yogi itu menjadi gembira di hati; lalu dengan budi yang dilembutkan oleh belas kasih, baginda bertutur kepada putera raja itu.
