Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 30
ततः सजीवतां प्राप्य हरवाक्येन तं तदा । विशेषेण महाराज नायकोऽसौ कृतः क्षितौ । सर्वेषां चैव मर्त्यानां ततः ख्यातो बभूव ह
tataḥ sajīvatāṃ prāpya haravākyena taṃ tadā | viśeṣeṇa mahārāja nāyako'sau kṛtaḥ kṣitau | sarveṣāṃ caiva martyānāṃ tataḥ khyāto babhūva ha
پھر ہَر کے کلام سے اسے زندگی نصیب ہوئی؛ اور اسی وقت، اے مہاراج، اسے زمین پر خاص طور سے ‘نایک’ یعنی رہنما مقرر کیا گیا؛ پھر وہ تمام انسانوں میں مشہور ہو گیا۔
