Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 105

Devanagari script

तव नाम्ना सुपुण्यं हि तीर्थमेतद्भविष्यति । दर्शमुद्दिश्य मर्त्यस्तु प्राप्स्यते गोसहस्रकम् । स्नानाल्लक्षगुणं दानात्पुण्यं चैव तथाऽक्षयम्

Transliteration

tava nāmnā supuṇyaṃ hi tīrthametadbhaviṣyati | darśamuddiśya martyastu prāpsyate gosahasrakam | snānāllakṣaguṇaṃ dānātpuṇyaṃ caiva tathā'kṣayam

Translation

En verdad, por tu nombre este lugar de peregrinación (tīrtha) será de grandísimo mérito. El mortal que realice los ritos con referencia al día de luna nueva (darśa) obtendrá el fruto de haber donado mil vacas. Del baño nace un mérito cien mil veces mayor, y de la dádiva (dāna) surge asimismo un mérito inagotable.
