Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 22
तथाहं कीर्त्तयिष्यामि शृणुष्वैकमनाः प्रिये । स्नात्वा तु विमले तीर्थे शुक्लांबरधरः शुचिः । पूजोपहारसंयुक्तस्ततो ब्रह्माणमर्चयेत्
tathāhaṃ kīrttayiṣyāmi śṛṇuṣvaikamanāḥ priye | snātvā tu vimale tīrthe śuklāṃbaradharaḥ śuciḥ | pūjopahārasaṃyuktastato brahmāṇamarcayet
Ainsi vais-je l’exposer : écoute d’un esprit unifié, ô bien-aimée. Après t’être baigné au tīrtha immaculé, vêtu de blanc et demeurant pur, muni d’offrandes de culte, adore alors Brahmā.
