Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 105
शिवस्य च तथा शक्तेरंतरं नास्ति पार्वति । न तदस्ति महादेवि यन्न जानासि शोभने
śivasya ca tathā śakteraṃtaraṃ nāsti pārvati | na tadasti mahādevi yanna jānāsi śobhane
ਹੇ ਪਾਰਵਤੀ, ਸ਼ਿਵ ਅਤੇ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਵਿਚ ਰਤਾ ਭਰ ਵੀ ਅੰਤਰ ਨਹੀਂ। ਹੇ ਮਹਾਦੇਵੀ, ਹੇ ਸ਼ੋਭਨੇ, ਐਸਾ ਕੁਝ ਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਜੋ ਤੂੰ ਨਾ ਜਾਣਦੀ ਹੋਵੇ।
