Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 11
ईश्वरस्तु प्रशाखासु सर्वोऽयं हरवल्लभः । हरः कर्पूरधवलो यथावद्वर्णितः सदा
īśvarastu praśākhāsu sarvo'yaṃ haravallabhaḥ | haraḥ karpūradhavalo yathāvadvarṇitaḥ sadā
Pada ranting-rantingnya yang banyak, Tuhan ini hadir di mana-mana—yang dikasihi Hara. Hara, putih laksana kapur barus, demikianlah sentiasa dihuraikan di sini dengan sewajarnya.
