Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 103
यावत्सोमेश्वरं देवं न विंदंति त्रिलोचनम् । क्षेत्रं प्रभासमित्युक्तं क्षेत्रज्ञोऽहं न संशयः
yāvatsomeśvaraṃ devaṃ na viṃdaṃti trilocanam | kṣetraṃ prabhāsamityuktaṃ kṣetrajño'haṃ na saṃśayaḥ
যতক্ষণ তারা ত্রিলোচন দেব সোমেশ্বরকে না পায়, ততক্ষণ এই ক্ষেত্র ‘প্রভাস’ নামে কথিত। আমি ক্ষেত্রজ্ঞ—এতে সন্দেহ নেই।
