Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 16
एवं तौ निश्चयं कृत्वा प्रस्थितौ भ्रातरावुभौ । त्रितस्तु पुरतो याति निर्विकल्प ऋजुः सुधीः
evaṃ tau niścayaṃ kṛtvā prasthitau bhrātarāvubhau | tritastu purato yāti nirvikalpa ṛjuḥ sudhīḥ
یوں فیصلہ کر کے وہ دونوں بھائی روانہ ہوئے۔ مگر تریت ان سے آگے چل رہا تھا—پرسکون، سیدھا سادہ، دانا، اور بے گمانی سے پاک۔
