Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 82
ईदृशान्येव वक्त्राणि येषां वै संभवंति हि । तैः समेतो यदा कोऽपि नरवर्यो महातपाः । मां पुरस्कृत्य सहसा हनिष्यति न संशयः
īdṛśānyeva vaktrāṇi yeṣāṃ vai saṃbhavaṃti hi | taiḥ sameto yadā ko'pi naravaryo mahātapāḥ | māṃ puraskṛtya sahasā haniṣyati na saṃśayaḥ
இத்தகைய முகங்கள் யாருக்கு உண்டாகுமோ, அவர்களுடன் சேர்ந்து ஒரு நரசிறந்த மகாதபஸ்வி என்னை முன்னிறுத்தி எதிர்கொண்டால், அவன் அவனை உடனே கொல்வான்—சந்தேகம் இல்லை.
