Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 57
एवमस्त्विति तेनोक्तास्ते सर्वे विगतज्वराः । तल्लिंगानुकृतिं लिंगमीजिरे मुनयस्तथा । चक्रुस्ते मुनयः सर्वे स्तुतिं विगतमत्सराः
evamastviti tenoktāste sarve vigatajvarāḥ | talliṃgānukṛtiṃ liṃgamījire munayastathā | cakruste munayaḥ sarve stutiṃ vigatamatsarāḥ
Apabila baginda bersabda, “Jadilah demikian,” mereka semua pun bebas daripada demam panas. Lalu para resi menyembah sebuah liṅga yang dibentuk menyerupai liṅga ilahi itu; dan semua resi—tanpa iri hati—menggubah kidung pujian.
