Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 27
यथा मां सांप्रतं दृष्ट्वा ये मयाऽपि प्रतर्पिताः । तेऽपि दूरतरं यांति एष मां प्रार्थयि ष्यति
yathā māṃ sāṃprataṃ dṛṣṭvā ye mayā'pi pratarpitāḥ | te'pi dūrataraṃ yāṃti eṣa māṃ prārthayi ṣyati
ஒருகாலத்தில் நான் திருப்தி செய்தவர்களும் இப்போது என்னைக் கண்டதும் இன்னும் தூரம் செல்வர்; அதுபோல இவனும் உதவாமல் என்னிடமே வேண்டுவான்।
