Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 30
तस्मात्कृतस्मरो लोके कीर्त्यते स महीतले । तं दृष्ट्वा न जडो नांधो नासुखी न च दुर्भगः । जायते तु कदा मर्त्यो न दरिद्रो न रोगवान्
tasmātkṛtasmaro loke kīrtyate sa mahītale | taṃ dṛṣṭvā na jaḍo nāṃdho nāsukhī na ca durbhagaḥ | jāyate tu kadā martyo na daridro na rogavān
Kaya siya’y pinupuri sa daigdig at sa lupa bilang Kṛtasmara. Ang sinumang makakita sa banal na pook na iyon, ang tao’y hindi isisilang na mangmang, ni bulag, ni malungkot, ni kapus-palad; ni isisilang na dukha o may karamdaman.
