Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 113
शोकं च त्यज नैतास्ताः स्वाहै वेयं तव प्रिया । श्वेतपर्वतकुंडस्थं पुत्रं त्वं द्रष्टुमर्हसि । ततो वह्निस्तत्र गत्वा ददृशे तनयं प्रभुम्
śokaṃ ca tyaja naitāstāḥ svāhai veyaṃ tava priyā | śvetaparvatakuṃḍasthaṃ putraṃ tvaṃ draṣṭumarhasi | tato vahnistatra gatvā dadṛśe tanayaṃ prabhum
“Cast away your sorrow—these are not your wives; this is Svāhā, your beloved. Go and behold your son who dwells in the pool at Śvetaparvata.” Then Agni went there and beheld his son, the Lord.
