Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 6
ततः प्रभृति विख्यातं तीर्थं तद्वासवाह्वयम् । तस्मिंस्तीर्थे महाराज यो भक्त्या पूजयेच्छिवम् । यथालब्धोपहारैश्च दीपं दद्यात्प्रयत्नतः
tataḥ prabhṛti vikhyātaṃ tīrthaṃ tadvāsavāhvayam | tasmiṃstīrthe mahārāja yo bhaktyā pūjayecchivam | yathālabdhopahāraiśca dīpaṃ dadyātprayatnataḥ
Dès lors, ce tīrtha devint célèbre sous le nom de « Vāsava ». Ô grand roi, quiconque en ce tīrtha vénère Śiva avec dévotion, et avec les offrandes dont il dispose, doit avec soin offrir une lampe.
