Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 71
अपि पापसमाचारः किं पुनर्धार्मिकः शुचिः । गोमती संगमे स्नात्वा चक्रतीर्थे तथैव च । मुच्यते पातकैर्घोरै र्मानवो नात्र संशयः
api pāpasamācāraḥ kiṃ punardhārmikaḥ śuciḥ | gomatī saṃgame snātvā cakratīrthe tathaiva ca | mucyate pātakairghorai rmānavo nātra saṃśayaḥ
पापाचार में रत व्यक्ति भी—फिर धर्मात्मा और शुद्ध की तो बात ही क्या—गोमती-संगम में तथा उसी प्रकार चक्रतीर्थ में स्नान करके भयंकर पातकों से मुक्त हो जाता है; इसमें संशय नहीं।
