Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 55
देवा ऊचुः । यस्माच्चित्राणि पीठानि त्वयानीतानि तत्र हि । तस्माच्चित्रेश्वरं नाम पीठमेकं भविष्यति
devā ūcuḥ | yasmāccitrāṇi pīṭhāni tvayānītāni tatra hi | tasmāccitreśvaraṃ nāma pīṭhamekaṃ bhaviṣyati
Dijeron los dioses: Puesto que los pīṭhas maravillosos han sido en verdad llevados allí por ti, por ello un pīṭha en ese lugar será conocido con el nombre de «Citreśvara».
