Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 3
अष्टकोटिसुतीर्थानि तत्रानीय स्वयं हरिः । तीर्थे प्रकल्पयामास शुद्धिं कृत्वा सुदर्शने । तीर्थस्य चक्रे नामापि चकतीर्थमिति श्रुतम्
aṣṭakoṭisutīrthāni tatrānīya svayaṃ hariḥ | tīrthe prakalpayāmāsa śuddhiṃ kṛtvā sudarśane | tīrthasya cakre nāmāpi cakatīrthamiti śrutam
হৰিয়ে নিজে তাত অষ্টকোটি উত্তম তীৰ্থ আনি সেই স্থানত স্থাপন কৰিলে। সুদৰ্শনক শুদ্ধ কৰি, সেই তীৰ্থক নামো দিলে; সেয়েহে ই ‘চক্ৰ-তীৰ্থ’ নামে প্ৰসিদ্ধ হ’ল।
