Skanda Purana — Vishnu Khanda, Shloka 56
पूजासंभारमालोक्य तादृशं तं मुनीश्वरः । विस्मितोऽभून्निरानन्दो दक्षिणाऽशां परित्यजन् । उवाच मधुरं वाक्यं वाक्यज्ञानविशारदः
pūjāsaṃbhāramālokya tādṛśaṃ taṃ munīśvaraḥ | vismito'bhūnnirānando dakṣiṇā'śāṃ parityajan | uvāca madhuraṃ vākyaṃ vākyajñānaviśāradaḥ
ပူဇော်ပစ္စည်းများ အလွန်နည်းပါးသကဲ့သို့ မြင်သဖြင့် မုနိအရှင်သည် အံ့ဩ၍ စိတ်မပျော်တော့ဘဲ ဒက္ခိဏာရမည်ဟု မျှော်လင့်ချက်ကို စွန့်လွှတ်하였다။ စကားအနက်ကို ခွဲခြားသိမြင်တတ်သူဖြစ်သဖြင့် ထို့နောက် နူးညံ့ချိုသာသော စကားကို ပြော하였다။
