Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 39
मृतपुत्रा तथा विप्राः संगमे स्नानमाचरेत् । दोषैः प्रमुच्यते सर्वैर्गोमप्युदधिसंगमे । स्नात्वा सुखमवाप्नोति प्रजां च चिरजीविनीम्
mṛtaputrā tathā viprāḥ saṃgame snānamācaret | doṣaiḥ pramucyate sarvairgomapyudadhisaṃgame | snātvā sukhamavāpnoti prajāṃ ca cirajīvinīm
Demikian pula, wahai para vipra (brāhmaṇa), seorang wanita yang putranya telah wafat hendaknya mandi di sangam itu. Di pertemuan Gomatī dan samudra, seseorang terbebas dari segala dosa-cela; setelah mandi di sana, ia meraih kebahagiaan serta keturunan yang panjang umur.
