Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 29
न शाकिन्या भयं तस्य न च राज्ञश्च वैरिणः । न च व्याधिभयं चैव सर्वत्र विजयी भवेत्
na śākinyā bhayaṃ tasya na ca rājñaśca vairiṇaḥ | na ca vyādhibhayaṃ caiva sarvatra vijayī bhavet
Dia tidak takut akan Śākinī dan makhluk halus yang jahat, tidak takut akan raja yang memusuhi, dan tidak takut akan penyakit; di mana-mana dia menjadi pemenang.
