Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 45
कन्या च यत्र वै वल्ली रोहीनाम जटी गृहे । अगस्त्य पादपो वापि बंधुजीवो गृहेषु वै
kanyā ca yatra vai vallī rohīnāma jaṭī gṛhe | agastya pādapo vāpi baṃdhujīvo gṛheṣu vai
અને જે ઘરમાં ‘કન્યા’ નામની વેલ, ‘રોહી’ નામની જટાવાળી વનસ્પતિ, ‘અગસ્ત્ય’ નામનો છોડ, અથવા ઘરોમાં ‘બંધુજીવ’ હોય—તે ઘર એવા પ્રભાવોને યોગ્ય ગણાય છે।
