Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 10
ततस्तु देवयजनंनाम तस्य बभूव ह । यदन्यत्र शतं कृत्वा क्रतूनां फलमाप्नुयात् । तदत्रैकेन लभते क्रतुना दक्षिणावता
tatastu devayajanaṃnāma tasya babhūva ha | yadanyatra śataṃ kṛtvā kratūnāṃ phalamāpnuyāt | tadatraikena labhate kratunā dakṣiṇāvatā
C’est pourquoi ce lieu fut appelé « Devayajana ». Le fruit qu’ailleurs on obtiendrait en accomplissant cent sacrifices, on l’obtient ici par un seul sacrifice, pourvu qu’il soit dûment accompagné de dakṣiṇā.
