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
नारद उवाच—अद्य मे प्रभातं देव तव दर्शनात् सफलं जातम्। किन्तु देवानां कुशलं नास्ति; शीघ्रमुत्तिष्ठ, गन्तव्यं वर्तते।
