Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 16
संहारं सर्वभूतानां रुद्रत्वे कुरुते प्रभुः । विष्णुत्वे पालयेल्लोकान्ब्रह्मत्वे सृष्टिकारकः
saṃhāraṃ sarvabhūtānāṃ rudratve kurute prabhuḥ | viṣṇutve pālayellokānbrahmatve sṛṣṭikārakaḥ
ருத்ரரூபத்தில் ஆண்டவன் எல்லா உயிர்களின் சங்காரத்தைச் செய்கிறான்; விஷ்ணுரூபத்தில் உலகங்களைப் பாதுகாக்கிறான்; பிரம்மரூபத்தில் படைப்பின் கர்த்தாவாகிறான்।
