Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 75
एषां शापो मया दत्तोऽनुग्रहीष्य ति शंकरः । नान्यस्त्रातुं भवेच्छक्तो विना पशुपतिं भवम् । तत्त्वं शीघ्रतरं गच्छ समाराधय शंकर
eṣāṃ śāpo mayā datto'nugrahīṣya ti śaṃkaraḥ | nānyastrātuṃ bhavecchakto vinā paśupatiṃ bhavam | tattvaṃ śīghrataraṃ gaccha samārādhaya śaṃkara
ဤသူတို့အပေါ် ကျိန်စာကို ငါပေးထားပြီ; ရှင်ကရ (Śaṅkara) သည် ကရုဏာပြုမည်။ ပశုပတိ ဘဝ (Bhava) မပါဘဲ အခြားမည်သူမျှ ကယ်တင်နိုင်စွမ်း မရှိ။ ထို့ကြောင့် ချက်ချင်း လျင်မြန်စွာ သွား၍ ရှင်ကရကို သင့်လျော်စွာ ပူဇော်ပါ။
