Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 59
विष्णोर्मूर्ध्नि महाभागे लोकाः स्वस्था बभूविरे । ततो देवगणाः सर्वे नृत्यंति च मुदान्विताः । वदंति हर्षसंयुक्ता नारायणपरायणाः
viṣṇormūrdhni mahābhāge lokāḥ svasthā babhūvire | tato devagaṇāḥ sarve nṛtyaṃti ca mudānvitāḥ | vadaṃti harṣasaṃyuktā nārāyaṇaparāyaṇāḥ
เหนือเศียรอันรุ่งเรืองของพระวิษณุ โลกทั้งหลายก็สงบและตั้งมั่นเป็นสุข แล้วหมู่เทวะทั้งปวงยินดีร่าเริง พากันร่ายรำและกล่าวถ้อยคำด้วยความปลื้มปีติ—มีพระนารายณ์เป็นที่พึ่งสูงสุด
