Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 39
भास्कर उवाच । गृहाण त्वं महाभाग गुटिकाद्वितयं शुभम् । शुक्लं कृष्णं च वक्त्रस्थं विभेद जननं महत्
bhāskara uvāca | gṛhāṇa tvaṃ mahābhāga guṭikādvitayaṃ śubham | śuklaṃ kṛṣṇaṃ ca vaktrasthaṃ vibheda jananaṃ mahat
ភាស្ករ បានមានព្រះបន្ទូលថា៖ «ឱ អ្នកមានភាគល្អ ចូរទទួលយកគ្រាប់ថ្នាំគូនេះដ៏មង្គល—មួយពណ៌ស មួយពណ៌ខ្មៅ។ ដាក់នៅក្នុងមាត់ វាបង្កើតអំណាចធំក្នុងការបែងចែក និងធ្វើឲ្យលទ្ធផលខុសគ្នា»។

FAQs

This verse is instructional and does not itself name a tīrtha, though it appears within a Tīrthamāhātmya chapter.
An observance-like instruction is given: keep the white/black pellets in the mouth (vaktrastha) to generate distinct results.
