Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 35

Devanagari script

तेन दत्तं भवेत्सर्वं गुरवस्तेन तोषिताः । श्राद्धं कृतं गयातीर्थे तेन तप्तं महत्तपः । येन देवाधिदेवोऽसौपूजितो वृषभेश्वरः

Transliteration

tena dattaṃ bhavetsarvaṃ guravastena toṣitāḥ | śrāddhaṃ kṛtaṃ gayātīrthe tena taptaṃ mahattapaḥ | yena devādhidevo'saupūjito vṛṣabheśvaraḥ

Translation

Durch jenen (der hier verehrt) ist es, als wären alle Gaben dargebracht; durch ihn sind die Gurus zufrieden; durch ihn ist das Śrāddha am Gayā-Tīrtha vollzogen; durch ihn ist große Askese geübt worden—weil er Vṛṣabheśvara, den Gott der Götter, verehrt hat.
