Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 70
हृदयस्थे च चक्रांके पूतो भवति तत्क्षणात् । नोपसर्पंति तं भीता दूताः कृष्णायुधं तदा । वैष्णवं लोकमा प्नोति नात्र कार्या विचारणा
hṛdayasthe ca cakrāṃke pūto bhavati tatkṣaṇāt | nopasarpaṃti taṃ bhītā dūtāḥ kṛṣṇāyudhaṃ tadā | vaiṣṇavaṃ lokamā pnoti nātra kāryā vicāraṇā
Kapag ang tanda ng Cakra ay nananahan sa puso, ang tao’y nalilinis sa mismong sandali. Noon, ang mga nakatatakot na sugo ay hindi lalapit, sapagkat naroon ang sandata ni Kṛṣṇa. Mararating niya ang daigdig ng mga Vaiṣṇava—hindi na kailangan ng pag-uusisa.
