Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 34
अष्टमे सोमवारे तु अमोघायुतमीश्वरम् । कदलीफलकेनार्घ्यं मरुबकेन पूजयेत् । रात्रौ तु प्राशयेद्दुग्धमग्निष्टोमफलं लभेत्
aṣṭame somavāre tu amoghāyutamīśvaram | kadalīphalakenārghyaṃ marubakena pūjayet | rātrau tu prāśayeddugdhamagniṣṭomaphalaṃ labhet
Le huitième lundi, qu’on vénère le Seigneur Amoghāyuta-īśvara. Qu’on offre l’arghya avec un fruit de bananier (kadalī) et qu’on accomplisse la pūjā avec le marubaka. La nuit, qu’on ne prenne que du lait ; ainsi l’on obtient un mérite égal au sacrifice Agniṣṭoma.
