Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 43
तथा तत्र नरो भक्त्या संपूज्य पितृदेवताः । सर्वान्कामानवाप्नोति दद्याद्वस्त्रद्विजातये
tathā tatra naro bhaktyā saṃpūjya pitṛdevatāḥ | sarvānkāmānavāpnoti dadyādvastradvijātaye
એ જ રીતે ત્યાં મનુષ્ય ભક્તિપૂર્વક પિતૃદેવતાઓની સમ્યક પૂજા કરે તો સર્વ કામનાઓ પ્રાપ્ત કરે છે; અને દ્વિજ (બ્રાહ્મણ) ને વસ્ત્રદાન કરવું જોઈએ.
