Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 29
मायाधिपटलैर्हीनो मिथ्या वस्तुविरागवान् । कुसंसर्गविहीनश्च योगसिद्धेश्च लक्षणम्
māyādhipaṭalairhīno mithyā vastuvirāgavān | kusaṃsargavihīnaśca yogasiddheśca lakṣaṇam
మాయా ఆవరణాల నుండి విముక్తుడై, మిథ్యా విషయాల పట్ల వైరాగ్యంతో, కుసంగాన్ని విడిచినవాడు—ఇవే యోగసిద్ధి లక్షణాలు।
