Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 8
अशाकभोजी दीर्घायुश्चातुर्मास्येऽभिजायते । रसत्यागान्महाप्राणी मधुत्यागात्सुलोचनः
aśākabhojī dīrghāyuścāturmāsye'bhijāyate | rasatyāgānmahāprāṇī madhutyāgātsulocanaḥ
চাতুর্মাস্য ব্রতে যে শাকভোজন করে না, সে দীর্ঘায়ু হয়। রস-আসক্তি ত্যাগ করলে মহাপ্রাণশক্তি লাভ হয়, আর মধু ত্যাগ করলে সুন্দর নয়ন প্রাপ্ত হয়।
