Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 17
निवेद्य च महेशानं प्रेषिता मुनयो ययुः । ततो लग्नदिने देवा महेन्द्रादय ईश्वरम्
nivedya ca maheśānaṃ preṣitā munayo yayuḥ | tato lagnadine devā mahendrādaya īśvaram
మహేశానునకు సందేశం నివేదించి పంపబడిన మునులు వెళ్లిపోయిరి. తరువాత శుభ లగ్నదినమున ఇంద్రాది దేవతలు ఈశ్వరుని సన్నిధికి వచ్చిరి।
