Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 99
सेतुमज्जनमात्रेण यथा तुष्यति शंकरः । न तुल्यं विद्यते तेजोयथा सौरेण तेजसा
setumajjanamātreṇa yathā tuṣyati śaṃkaraḥ | na tulyaṃ vidyate tejoyathā saureṇa tejasā
سیتو میں محض اشنان کرنے سے ہی شنکر اس قدر راضی ہو جاتے ہیں۔ کوئی نور اس نور کے برابر نہیں—جیسے سورج کی تابانی کے ہمسر کوئی چمک نہیں۔
