Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 21
विधिक्रतू ऊचतुः । वेदाः प्रमाणं सर्वत्र प्रतिष्ठां परमामिताः । यूयमेव न संदेहः किं तत्त्वं प्रतितिष्ठत
vidhikratū ūcatuḥ | vedāḥ pramāṇaṃ sarvatra pratiṣṭhāṃ paramāmitāḥ | yūyameva na saṃdehaḥ kiṃ tattvaṃ pratitiṣṭhata
毗提与克罗图说道：“吠陀于一切处为正量，为至上而无量之依止。汝等诸《闻》（Śruti）即是此—无有疑惑。汝等究竟安立于何等真实？”
