Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 30
तेन त्रस्तास्तत्तपसा सर्व इंद्रपुरोगमाः । भवतोंघ्रौ चिरेणैव मनस्तेन समर्पितम् । तमुत्थापय देवेश किमिच्छति स धर्मराट्
tena trastāstattapasā sarva iṃdrapurogamāḥ | bhavatoṃghrau cireṇaiva manastena samarpitam | tamutthāpaya deveśa kimicchati sa dharmarāṭ
Dahil sa gayong matinding tapas, nanginig sa takot ang lahat ng mga deva na pinangungunahan ni Indra; at sa wakas ay inialay nila ang kanilang isipan sa Iyong mga banal na paa. O Panginoon ng mga deva, ibangon mo siya mula sa kanyang pag-aayuno at alamin kung ano ang ninanais ng Dharma-rāja.
