Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 39
न दृष्टं मस्तकं तस्य व्यापकस्य महात्मनः । किं वक्ष्येऽहं च देवाग्रे चिंता मे चाति वर्तते
na dṛṣṭaṃ mastakaṃ tasya vyāpakasya mahātmanaḥ | kiṃ vakṣye'haṃ ca devāgre ciṃtā me cāti vartate
அந்த எல்லாவற்றிலும் பரவி நிற்கும் மகாத்மாவின் தலை எனக்குக் காணப்படவில்லை. தேவர்முன் நான் என்ன சொல்வேன்? பெரும் கவலை என்னை ஆட்கொள்கிறது.
