Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 51
तथा शरीरे क्वापिस्तांचिंता सत्योऽसि सुव्रत । त्रिषु लोकेषु दुष्प्रापं सत्यं ते दिवि संस्थितम्
tathā śarīre kvāpistāṃciṃtā satyo'si suvrata | triṣu lokeṣu duṣprāpaṃ satyaṃ te divi saṃsthitam
ସେହିପରି, ହେ ସତ୍ୟନିଷ୍ଠ ସୁବ୍ରତ, ତୁମ ଶରୀରରେ କେଉଁଠି ମଧ୍ୟ ଅଳ୍ପମାତ୍ର ଚିନ୍ତା ନ ରହୁ। ତ୍ରିଲୋକରେ ସତ୍ୟ ଦୁର୍ଲଭ; ତୁମ ସତ୍ୟ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ପ୍ରତିଷ୍ଠିତ।
