Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 89
अवश्यं न च ते भावी मृत्युः सत्यात्कथंचन । प्रमाणं यदि सत्यं हि व्रज पंथाः शिवोऽस्तु ते
avaśyaṃ na ca te bhāvī mṛtyuḥ satyātkathaṃcana | pramāṇaṃ yadi satyaṃ hi vraja paṃthāḥ śivo'stu te
உன் சத்தியநிலையால் உனக்கு எவ்விதத்திலும் மரணம் நேராது—இது உறுதி. சத்தியமே சான்றும் ஆதாரமுமெனில், நீ உன் பாதையில் செல்; உனக்கு சிவமங்கலம் உண்டாகுக।
