Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 108
एवं जानाति यः कश्चित्स तीर्थफलमश्नुते । स्वर्गनिःश्रेणिसंभूता प्रभासे तु सरस्वती
evaṃ jānāti yaḥ kaścitsa tīrthaphalamaśnute | svarganiḥśreṇisaṃbhūtā prabhāse tu sarasvatī
જે કોઈ આ રીતે જાણે છે, તે નિશ્ચયે તીર્થફળ પ્રાપ્ત કરે છે. કારણ કે પ્રભાસમાં સરસ્વતી સ્વર્ગારોહણની ‘સીડી’રૂપે ઉત્પન્ન થઈ હોવાનું કહેવાય છે.
