Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 34
विवाहादौ सदा भाव्यं चामरै मंगलं वरम् । खङ्गं शुभं तदा धार्य्यं मम चिह्नं करे स्थितम्
vivāhādau sadā bhāvyaṃ cāmarai maṃgalaṃ varam | khaṅgaṃ śubhaṃ tadā dhāryyaṃ mama cihnaṃ kare sthitam
Dalam perkahwinan dan segala permulaan yang berkat, hendaklah sentiasa ditampilkan kemuliaan murni cāmara. Kemudian pedang yang membawa tuah itu—lambang-Ku—hendaklah dipegang teguh di tangan.
