Varaha Purana 158.26: Adhyaya 158, Shloka 26
The Manifestation and Sanctifying Power of the Mathurā Tīrtha
प्रवाहेषु च दिव्येषु नदीनाṃ सङ्गमेषु च॥ वर्षासु सर्वतः स्नायाद्यदीच्छेत्परमां गतिम्॥
pravāheṣu ca divyeṣu nadīnāṁ saṅgameṣu ca || varṣāsu sarvataḥ snāyādyadīcchet paramāṁ gatim
पवित्र नदियों के बहते पानी में भी नहाना चाहिए। जहाँ दो नदियाँ मिलती हैं, वहाँ भी। बारिश में जहाँ भी हो, नहाते रहो अगर भगवान को पाना है।
