Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 25
पितॄणां चाक्षया तृप्तिर्गयाश्राद्धेन वै यथा । तद्वच्छ्राद्धान्महाभाग गोमत्युदधिसंगमे
pitṝṇāṃ cākṣayā tṛptirgayāśrāddhena vai yathā | tadvacchrāddhānmahābhāga gomatyudadhisaṃgame
जैसे गया-श्राद्ध से पितरों की अक्षय तृप्ति होती है, वैसे ही—हे महाभाग—गोमती–समुद्र संगम पर किया हुआ श्राद्ध भी वैसा ही फल देता है।
