Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 154
परित्यक्तास्त्वया ये तु ते नरा दुःखभागिनः । सभायां ते न शोभन्ते मन्यन्ते न च पार्थिवैः
parityaktāstvayā ye tu te narā duḥkhabhāginaḥ | sabhāyāṃ te na śobhante manyante na ca pārthivaiḥ
ชนเหล่าใดที่ท่านทอดทิ้ง ชนเหล่านั้นย่อมเป็นผู้รับส่วนแห่งทุกข์ ในท้องพระโรงเขาไม่ผ่องแผ้ว และพระราชาทั้งหลายก็มิได้ยกย่องนับถือ
