Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 65
येनैषा मामकी कीर्तिस्तावकं वक्तु कर्म तत् । विख्यातिं यातु लोकेऽत्र न कश्चित्पापमाचरेत्
yenaiṣā māmakī kīrtistāvakaṃ vaktu karma tat | vikhyātiṃ yātu loke'tra na kaścitpāpamācaret
येन कर्मणा मम कीर्तिः स्थिरा भवति, तव तत्कर्म लोकेऽत्र वक्तुं प्रवर्तताम् । सा विख्यातिं यातु, अत्र च कश्चिदपि पापं नाचरेत् ॥
