Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 101
पर्वताश्चापि शीर्यंते ध्वजसंगोऽपि नाऽभवत् । अकृष्टपच्या पृथिवी सिध्यंत्यन्नानि चिंतया । सर्वकामदुघा गावः पुटकेपुटके मधु
parvatāścāpi śīryaṃte dhvajasaṃgo'pi nā'bhavat | akṛṣṭapacyā pṛthivī sidhyaṃtyannāni ciṃtayā | sarvakāmadughā gāvaḥ puṭakepuṭake madhu
पर्वताश्चापि शीर्यन्ते, ध्वजसङ्गोऽपि नाभवत्। अकृष्टपच्या पृथिवी—चिन्तयैव सिध्यन्त्यन्नानि। सर्वकामदुघा गावः, पुटकेपुटके मधु चाभवत्।
