Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 69
तथा यो भास्करं पश्येद्बृहद्वलप्रतिष्ठितम् । वत्सरं रविवारेण यावत्कृत्वा क्षणं नरः । स मुच्यते नरो रोगैर्यदि स्याद्रोगसंयुतः
tathā yo bhāskaraṃ paśyedbṛhadvalapratiṣṭhitam | vatsaraṃ ravivāreṇa yāvatkṛtvā kṣaṇaṃ naraḥ | sa mucyate naro rogairyadi syādrogasaṃyutaḥ
De même, quiconque contemple Bhāskara (le Soleil) consacré par Bṛhadbala—s’il le fait chaque dimanche durant une année, ne fût-ce qu’un instant—est délivré des maladies, s’il en était atteint.
