Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 6
तस्मादानय चात्रैव पद्मयोने त्रिपुष्करम् । संध्योपास्तिं ततः कृत्वा तत्र भूयः सुरेश्वर । ब्रह्मत्वं कुरु देवेश सत्रे चास्मिन्दयानिधे
tasmādānaya cātraiva padmayone tripuṣkaram | saṃdhyopāstiṃ tataḥ kṛtvā tatra bhūyaḥ sureśvara | brahmatvaṃ kuru deveśa satre cāsmindayānidhe
अतः हे पद्मयोनि! त्रिपुष्कर को यहीं ले आओ। वहाँ संध्या-उपासना करके, हे सुरेश्वर! फिर लौट आओ; हे देवेश, दयानिधे! इस सत्र-यज्ञ में ब्रह्मा-ऋत्विज का पद ग्रहण करो।
