Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 10
यदेतद्भवता चात्र पुष्करं तीर्थमुत्तमम् । स्थापितं तस्य नो ब्रूहि माहात्म्यं सुरसत्तम । येन स्नानादिकाः सर्वाः क्रियाः कुर्मः पितामह
yadetadbhavatā cātra puṣkaraṃ tīrthamuttamam | sthāpitaṃ tasya no brūhi māhātmyaṃ surasattama | yena snānādikāḥ sarvāḥ kriyāḥ kurmaḥ pitāmaha
આપણે અહીં જે ઉત્તમ તીર્થ પુષ્કર સ્થાપ્યું છે, તેનું માહાત્મ્ય અમને કહો, હે દેવશ્રેષ્ઠ; જેથી અમે સ્નાનાદિ સર્વ ક્રિયાઓ કરી શકીએ. હે પિતામહ, ઉપદેશ આપો.
