Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 53
युधिष्ठिर उवाच । योजनस्य प्रमाणं मे वद त्वं मुनिसत्तम । यज्ज्ञात्वा निश्चितं मे स्यान्मनःशुद्धेस्तु कारणम्
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | yojanasya pramāṇaṃ me vada tvaṃ munisattama | yajjñātvā niścitaṃ me syānmanaḥśuddhestu kāraṇam
யுதிஷ்டிரன் கூறினான்—முனிவரே சிறந்தவரே! யோஜனத்தின் உண்மையான அளவை எனக்குச் சொல்லுங்கள். அதை அறிந்தால் என் மனம் உறுதிபெற்று, மனத் தூய்மைக்குக் காரணமாகும்.
