Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 75
एषां शापो मया दत्तोऽनुग्रहीष्य ति शंकरः । नान्यस्त्रातुं भवेच्छक्तो विना पशुपतिं भवम् । तत्त्वं शीघ्रतरं गच्छ समाराधय शंकर
eṣāṃ śāpo mayā datto'nugrahīṣya ti śaṃkaraḥ | nānyastrātuṃ bhavecchakto vinā paśupatiṃ bhavam | tattvaṃ śīghrataraṃ gaccha samārādhaya śaṃkara
یہ ان پر میری دی ہوئی بددعا ہے؛ شنکر عنایت فرمائے گا۔ پشوپتی بھَو کے سوا کوئی اور بچانے کی قدرت نہیں رکھتا۔ اس لیے فوراً، بہت جلد جا اور شنکر کی باقاعدہ عبادت کر۔
