Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 9
पर्णादोऽपि स्थितस्तत्र तस्याराधनतत्परः । तत्र भाद्रपदे मासे षष्ठ्यां स्नानं समाचरेत् । पर्णादित्यं ततः पश्येन्न स दुःखमवाप्नुयात्
parṇādo'pi sthitastatra tasyārādhanatatparaḥ | tatra bhādrapade māse ṣaṣṭhyāṃ snānaṃ samācaret | parṇādityaṃ tataḥ paśyenna sa duḥkhamavāpnuyāt
パルナーダもまたそこに留まり、ひたすら御方への礼拝に励んだ。そこではバードラパダ月の第六日（ティティ）に沐浴の行を修し、その後パルナーディティヤを拝すれば、悲嘆に沈むことはない。
