Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 53
नारद उवाच । अद्य मे सफलं देव प्रभातं तव दर्शनात् । कुशलं च न देवानां शीघ्रमुत्तिष्ठ गम्यताम्
nārada uvāca | adya me saphalaṃ deva prabhātaṃ tava darśanāt | kuśalaṃ ca na devānāṃ śīghramuttiṣṭha gamyatām
Disse Nārada: «Hoje, ó Senhor, minha manhã se cumpriu ao contemplar-te (darśana). Mas os deuses não estão bem—ergue-te depressa; devemos partir.»
