Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 70
हृदयस्थे च चक्रांके पूतो भवति तत्क्षणात् । नोपसर्पंति तं भीता दूताः कृष्णायुधं तदा । वैष्णवं लोकमा प्नोति नात्र कार्या विचारणा
hṛdayasthe ca cakrāṃke pūto bhavati tatkṣaṇāt | nopasarpaṃti taṃ bhītā dūtāḥ kṛṣṇāyudhaṃ tadā | vaiṣṇavaṃ lokamā pnoti nātra kāryā vicāraṇā
ହୃଦୟରେ ଚକ୍ରାଙ୍କ ଥିଲେ ସେ ତତ୍କ୍ଷଣାତ୍ ପବିତ୍ର ହୁଏ। ସେତେବେଳେ କୃଷ୍ଣାୟୁଧ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ଥିବାରୁ ଭୀତ ଦୂତମାନେ ତାଙ୍କୁ ନିକଟିତ ହୁଅନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ। ସେ ବୈଷ୍ଣବ ଲୋକ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ କରେ—ଏଠାରେ ବିଚାର ଆବଶ୍ୟକ ନୁହେଁ।
