Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 28
तथेति गत्वा ते सर्वे शक्राद्या लोकपालकाः । ब्रह्माणं च पुरस्कृत्य तटं क्षीरार्णवस्य च । प्राप्योपविश्य ते सर्वे हरिं स्तोतुं प्रचक्रमुः
tatheti gatvā te sarve śakrādyā lokapālakāḥ | brahmāṇaṃ ca puraskṛtya taṭaṃ kṣīrārṇavasya ca | prāpyopaviśya te sarve hariṃ stotuṃ pracakramuḥ
‘یوں ہی ہو’ کہہ کر شَکر وغیرہ سب لوک پال آگے بڑھے۔ برہما کو پیشوا بنا کر وہ دودھ کے سمندر کے کنارے پہنچے؛ وہاں بیٹھ کر سب نے ہری کی ستوتی شروع کی۔
