Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 5
प्रदक्षिणीकृतं सर्वं ब्रह्मांडं नात्र संशयः । महादानैस्तु चान्यत्र यत्फलं परिकीर्तितम् । द्वारकायां तु रुक्मिण्यां दृष्टायां जायते तदा
pradakṣiṇīkṛtaṃ sarvaṃ brahmāṃḍaṃ nātra saṃśayaḥ | mahādānaistu cānyatra yatphalaṃ parikīrtitam | dvārakāyāṃ tu rukmiṇyāṃ dṛṣṭāyāṃ jāyate tadā
Par cette pradakṣiṇā, l’univers entier est comme circumambulé—sans aucun doute. Et le fruit que l’on proclame ailleurs provenir des grands dons (mahādāna), ce même fruit naît alors à Dvārakā, lorsqu’on voit Rukmiṇī.
