Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 59
एवं जातिस्मरत्वं च सञ्जातं मे द्विजोत्तमाः । ते च मे तर्पितास्तेन खड्गमांसेन माक्षिकैः
evaṃ jātismaratvaṃ ca sañjātaṃ me dvijottamāḥ | te ca me tarpitāstena khaḍgamāṃsena mākṣikaiḥ
یوں، اے برہمنوں میں افضل، مجھ میں پچھلے جنموں کی یاد کی قوت پیدا ہوئی۔ اور اسی عمل سے میرے پِتر خڈگ کے گوشت اور شہد سے سیراب و مطمئن کیے گئے۔
