Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 31
यदिच्छसि तथा कुर्यां तथा तव मनोरथान् । प्रसन्नवदना भूत्वा कथयस्व वरानने
yadicchasi tathā kuryāṃ tathā tava manorathān | prasannavadanā bhūtvā kathayasva varānane
جو کچھ تو چاہے، میں ویسا ہی کروں گا؛ اور تیرے دل کی مرادیں بھی اسی طرح پوری ہوں گی۔ خوش رُو ہو کر بتا، اے خوش سیما، تو کون سے ور مانگتی ہے؟
