Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 11
पिबन्पात्रे द्विजः सम्यक्तीर्थे पुष्करसंज्ञिते । जागरस्यैव चैतानि कलां नार्हंति षोडशीम्
pibanpātre dvijaḥ samyaktīrthe puṣkarasaṃjñite | jāgarasyaiva caitāni kalāṃ nārhaṃti ṣoḍaśīm
Même si un dvija, « deux-fois-né », boit correctement d’un vase au tīrtha nommé Puṣkara, ces mérites n’atteignent pas même le seizième de celui que procure la seule veille.
