Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 4
तस्मिन्काले नरो भक्त्या पश्येदप्येकमेवच । कृतक्षणो नरो मोक्षं सत्यं याति न संशयः
tasminkāle naro bhaktyā paśyedapyekamevaca | kṛtakṣaṇo naro mokṣaṃ satyaṃ yāti na saṃśayaḥ
ਉਸੇ ਵੇਲੇ ਜੇ ਕੋਈ ਨਰ ਭਕਤੀ ਨਾਲ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਕੇਵਲ ਇਕ ਦਾ ਵੀ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਕਰ ਲਵੇ, ਤਾਂ ਉਸ ਦਾ ਉਹ ਪਲ ਸਫਲ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਨਿਸ਼ਚੇ ਹੀ ਉਹ ਮੋਖਸ਼ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ—ਇਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੋਈ ਸੰਦੇਹ ਨਹੀਂ।
