Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 55
गत्वा स्थास्यामि तत्रैव शीघ्रं त्वं सम्मुखीभव । पतिव्रतासि शुद्धासिकुलीनासि यशस्विनि । तस्मादेतन्मम शुभे कर्तुमर्हसि चिंतितम्
gatvā sthāsyāmi tatraiva śīghraṃ tvaṃ sammukhībhava | pativratāsi śuddhāsikulīnāsi yaśasvini | tasmādetanmama śubhe kartumarhasi ciṃtitam
«Отправившись, я останусь там же. Скорее приготовься идти со мной. Ты — пативрата, верная мужу, чистая, благородного рода и славная; потому, о благословенная, тебе следует помочь исполнить то, что я задумал».
