Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 3
कुंडिकायां नरः स्नात्वा संगमेश्वरमर्चयेत् । तस्य जन्मसहस्राणि लक्ष्म्याः पुत्रै प्रियैः सह । असंगमं महादेवि न कदाचित्प्रजायते
kuṃḍikāyāṃ naraḥ snātvā saṃgameśvaramarcayet | tasya janmasahasrāṇi lakṣmyāḥ putrai priyaiḥ saha | asaṃgamaṃ mahādevi na kadācitprajāyate
