Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 55
एवं स द्विजमुख्यैश्च संपृष्टो दैत्यसत्तमः । प्रणम्य ब्राह्मणान्सर्वान्भक्त्या संहृष्टमानसः
evaṃ sa dvijamukhyaiśca saṃpṛṣṭo daityasattamaḥ | praṇamya brāhmaṇānsarvānbhaktyā saṃhṛṣṭamānasaḥ
ఇలా శ్రేష్ఠ ద్విజులు ప్రశ్నించగా, దైత్యుల్లో శ్రేష్ఠుడైన అతడు—ఆనందభరిత హృదయంతో—అన్ని బ్రాహ్మణులకు భక్తితో నమస్కరించాడు।
