Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 15
ब्रुवाणमेवं देवं तु नारदः प्रत्युवाच ह । तथाहं तु करिष्यामि यथा श्रद्धास्यते भवान्
bruvāṇamevaṃ devaṃ tu nāradaḥ pratyuvāca ha | tathāhaṃ tu kariṣyāmi yathā śraddhāsyate bhavān
جب دیوتا نے یوں فرمایا تو نارد نے جواب دیا، “اچھا، پھر میں ایسا کروں گا کہ اے بھگوان، آپ خود اس پر یقین لے آئیں گے۔”
