Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 67
एकचित्ततया योगो ब्रह्मज्ञानसमुद्भवः । नान्यथा भविता मे स ततश्चित्तनिरोधनम् । करोमि ब्रह्मसंसिद्ध्यै ततो मेऽसौ भविष्यति
ekacittatayā yogo brahmajñānasamudbhavaḥ | nānyathā bhavitā me sa tataścittanirodhanam | karomi brahmasaṃsiddhyai tato me'sau bhaviṣyati
یکسوئیِ دل سے یوگ پیدا ہوتا ہے، جو برہمن کے گیان سے جنم لیتا ہے؛ اس کے سوا وہ مجھے حاصل نہ ہوگا۔ اس لیے برہمن کی سِدھی کے لیے میں چِتّ کا نِرودھ کرتا ہوں؛ تب وہ ساکشات کار یقیناً میرا ہوگا۔
