Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 149
तस्य देहं समाश्रित्य मृत्युकार्यं कुर्वंति ते । ब्रह्मांडं सकलं विष्णोः करदं वरदो यतः । तस्माद्बलाधिको विष्णुर्न तथान्योऽस्ति कश्चन
tasya dehaṃ samāśritya mṛtyukāryaṃ kurvaṃti te | brahmāṃḍaṃ sakalaṃ viṣṇoḥ karadaṃ varado yataḥ | tasmādbalādhiko viṣṇurna tathānyo'sti kaścana
Dengan bersandar pada tubuh-Nya sendiri, mereka melaksanakan tugas kematian. Kerana seluruh alam semesta tunduk dan memberi upeti kepada Viṣṇu, Sang Penganugeraha kurnia; maka Viṣṇu unggul dalam kekuatan—tiada sesiapa yang sebanding dengan-Nya.
