Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 43
त्वया विलोकिताः सौरे दैन्यमाशु व्रजंति च । ब्रह्मा शक्रो यमश्चैव ऋषयः सप्ततारकाः
tvayā vilokitāḥ saure dainyamāśu vrajaṃti ca | brahmā śakro yamaścaiva ṛṣayaḥ saptatārakāḥ
O Saura (Śani, Saturno), ang sinumang masapol ng iyong titig ay agad nahuhulog sa karukhaan at dalamhati. Maging si Brahmā, si Śakra (Indra), si Yama, at ang mga ṛṣi—ang Pitong Bituin—ay hindi rin lampas sa iyong kapangyarihan.
