Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 9
त्वया स्नानं प्रकर्तव्यं सुपुण्येऽत्र जलाशये । ततो दिव्य वपुर्भूत्वा यौवनेन समन्विता । भविष्यसि न संदेहः सत्यमेतन्मयोदितम्
tvayā snānaṃ prakartavyaṃ supuṇye'tra jalāśaye | tato divya vapurbhūtvā yauvanena samanvitā | bhaviṣyasi na saṃdehaḥ satyametanmayoditam
