Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 20

Devanagari script

यन्ममाग्रेतनं नामख्यातं ब्रह्मावसानिकम् । सोमनाथेति च पुनस्तदेव प्रचरिष्यति । द्रक्ष्यंति हि नरा ये मामत्रस्थं भक्तितत्पराः

Transliteration

yanmamāgretanaṃ nāmakhyātaṃ brahmāvasānikam | somanātheti ca punastadeva pracariṣyati | drakṣyaṃti hi narā ye māmatrasthaṃ bhaktitatparāḥ

Translation

我先前的名号——直至梵天（Brahmā）时代终尽仍为人称颂——将再度以“苏摩那他（Somanātha）”之名流传。因为那些专注于奉爱（bhakti）的人，将在此地见到我，确然安住于此。
