Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 43
स्नानं कुर्वंति ते सत्यममृतत्वं प्रयांति हि । एवं त्वमृतवापीति प्रथा तद्वैभवं तथा । युष्माकं कथितं विप्राः किंभूयः श्रोतुमिच्छथ
snānaṃ kurvaṃti te satyamamṛtatvaṃ prayāṃti hi | evaṃ tvamṛtavāpīti prathā tadvaibhavaṃ tathā | yuṣmākaṃ kathitaṃ viprāḥ kiṃbhūyaḥ śrotumicchatha
