Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 29
धृतश्च सादरं तेन मा विप्र कुरु साहसम् । नेदृग्घोमः कृतः क्वापि कदाचित्केनचिद्द्विज
dhṛtaśca sādaraṃ tena mā vipra kuru sāhasam | nedṛgghomaḥ kṛtaḥ kvāpi kadācitkenaciddvija
Menahannya dengan hormat, baginda berkata: 'Wahai brahmana, janganlah melakukan perbuatan terburu-buru. Tidak pernah di mana-mana pun homa sebegini dilakukan oleh sesiapa pun pada bila-bila masa, wahai yang lahir dua kali.'
Sūrya (implied by the immediately preceding verse where Sūrya restrains him)
