Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 37
ईश्वरः परमात्मा तां त्यक्तुं शक्तः कथं न हि । पुनर्भेजे यतो देवीं तेन मन्ये महोर्जिताम्
īśvaraḥ paramātmā tāṃ tyaktuṃ śaktaḥ kathaṃ na hi | punarbheje yato devīṃ tena manye mahorjitām
ایشور، پرماتما، اسے چھوڑنے پر قادر کیسے نہ ہوتا؟ مگر چونکہ اس نے پھر اسی دیوی کو اختیار کیا، اس لیے میں اسے نہایت عظیم و قوی طاقت والی مانتا ہوں۔
Yudhiṣṭhira
