Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 30
तस्मात्कृतस्मरो लोके कीर्त्यते स महीतले । तं दृष्ट्वा न जडो नांधो नासुखी न च दुर्भगः । जायते तु कदा मर्त्यो न दरिद्रो न रोगवान्
tasmātkṛtasmaro loke kīrtyate sa mahītale | taṃ dṛṣṭvā na jaḍo nāṃdho nāsukhī na ca durbhagaḥ | jāyate tu kadā martyo na daridro na rogavān
Por isso ele é louvado no mundo e sobre a terra como Kṛtasmara. Quem contempla esse lugar sagrado jamais nasce obtuso, nem cego, nem infeliz, nem desafortunado; nem nasce pobre ou doente.
