Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 179
तेषां कुले कदा चित्तु अरिष्टं नैव जायते । अपुत्रो लभते पुत्रान्धनहीनस्तु संपदः । आयुरारोग्यमैश्वर्यं श्रीमातुश्च प्रसादतः
teṣāṃ kule kadā cittu ariṣṭaṃ naiva jāyate | aputro labhate putrāndhanahīnastu saṃpadaḥ | āyurārogyamaiśvaryaṃ śrīmātuśca prasādataḥ
Dalam keturunan mereka, tidak pernah timbul ariṣṭa, yakni malang dan bencana. Yang tidak berputera memperoleh putera, dan yang papa memperoleh kekayaan. Umur panjang, kesihatan dan kemuliaan berdaulat datang berkat prasāda Śrī Mātā yang mulia.
