Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 6
अटित्वा सर्वतीर्थानि प्रभासं नैव मुंचति । दुर्वासाश्च महातेजा लिंगस्याराधनोद्यतः । न मुंचति क्षणं देवि तत्क्षेत्रं शशिमौलिनः
aṭitvā sarvatīrthāni prabhāsaṃ naiva muṃcati | durvāsāśca mahātejā liṃgasyārādhanodyataḥ | na muṃcati kṣaṇaṃ devi tatkṣetraṃ śaśimaulinaḥ
सब तीर्थों में घूमकर भी वह प्रभास को नहीं छोड़ता। महातेजस्वी दुर्वासा भी, लिङ्ग-आराधना में तत्पर, हे देवी, शशिमौलि शिव के उस क्षेत्र को क्षणभर भी नहीं त्यागते।
