Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 75
तत्किं यत्त्वयि भूजानौ सर्वदेवमयो ह्यसि । तस्मात्तव शुभोदर्को मया ज्ञातोस्ति तत्त्वतः
tatkiṃ yattvayi bhūjānau sarvadevamayo hyasi | tasmāttava śubhodarko mayā jñātosti tattvataḥ
Maka apakah yang menghairankan jika pada-Mu ada dua lengan, kerana Engkau sesungguhnya tersusun daripada seluruh para dewa. Oleh itu, kebangkitan-Mu yang suci dan hasil akhirnya telah aku ketahui menurut hakikatnya.
