Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 113
ऊषराणां च सर्वेषां प्रभासक्षेत्रमूषरम् । पीठानां चैव पीठं च क्षेत्राणां क्षेत्रमुत्तमम् । सन्देहानां च सर्वेषामयं संदेह उत्तमः
ūṣarāṇāṃ ca sarveṣāṃ prabhāsakṣetramūṣaram | pīṭhānāṃ caiva pīṭhaṃ ca kṣetrāṇāṃ kṣetramuttamam | sandehānāṃ ca sarveṣāmayaṃ saṃdeha uttamaḥ
من بين جميع «الأوشَرا» المقدّسة، فإن برابهاساكشيترا هي الأوشَرا العليا؛ ومن بين جميع «البيثا» فهي البيثا؛ ومن بين جميع الحقول المقدّسة فهي أسمى «كشيترا». ومن بين كل الشكوك، فإن هذا الشك هو الأوّل (الأجدر بأن يُزال هنا).
