Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 4
तां तु शोकातुरां दृष्ट्वा तत्राहं करुणान्वितः । अवोचं मा रुदिष्वेति तव भर्ता पुनः शुभे । समुत्थास्यति कालेन मत्प्रसादान्न संशयः
tāṃ tu śokāturāṃ dṛṣṭvā tatrāhaṃ karuṇānvitaḥ | avocaṃ mā rudiṣveti tava bhartā punaḥ śubhe | samutthāsyati kālena matprasādānna saṃśayaḥ
