Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 101
पर्वताश्चापि शीर्यंते ध्वजसंगोऽपि नाऽभवत् । अकृष्टपच्या पृथिवी सिध्यंत्यन्नानि चिंतया । सर्वकामदुघा गावः पुटकेपुटके मधु
parvatāścāpi śīryaṃte dhvajasaṃgo'pi nā'bhavat | akṛṣṭapacyā pṛthivī sidhyaṃtyannāni ciṃtayā | sarvakāmadughā gāvaḥ puṭakepuṭake madhu
پہاڑ بھی جھک کر ریزہ ریزہ ہو گئے؛ اس کے علم کے لیے بھی کوئی رکاوٹ نہ رہی۔ زمین ‘بے جوتے ہی بارآور’ ہو گئی؛ محض خیال سے غلہ حاصل ہونے لگا۔ گائیں ہر مراد دینے والی بن گئیں، اور ہر چھوٹے برتن میں شہد پایا گیا۔
