Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 27
एवमुक्ते तु तेनाथ मुखमालोकितं हरेः । तेन प्रोक्तमिदं तथ्यं यत्ते राज्ञा प्रभाषितम्
evamukte tu tenātha mukhamālokitaṃ hareḥ | tena proktamidaṃ tathyaṃ yatte rājñā prabhāṣitam
అతడు అలా చెప్పగానే ప్రభువు హరి ముఖాన్ని చూశాడు; తరువాత రాజు నీతో చెప్పినట్లే ఆ సత్యాన్ని ఆయన ప్రకటించాడు।
