Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 3
शृङ्गारेश्वरनामा च तेन पापौघनाशनः । पूजयेद्यो विधानेन तत्र स्थाने स्थितं भवम् । दारिद्र्यदुःखसंयुक्तो न स भूयाद्भवे क्वचित्
śṛṅgāreśvaranāmā ca tena pāpaughanāśanaḥ | pūjayedyo vidhānena tatra sthāne sthitaṃ bhavam | dāridryaduḥkhasaṃyukto na sa bhūyādbhave kvacit
Por ello se le llama Śṛṅgāreśvara, el destructor de multitudes de pecados. Quien, conforme al rito, adore a Bhava (Śiva) que mora en ese lugar sagrado, no volverá a estar en la existencia mundana cargado de pobreza y aflicción.
