Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 2
तं दृष्ट्वा पूजयित्वा च मुक्तः स्यात्सर्वकिल्बिषैः । सोमवारे त्वमावास्या तत्रैव बहुपुण्यदा । विप्राणां भोजनं देयं तत्र पुण्य फलेप्सुभिः
taṃ dṛṣṭvā pūjayitvā ca muktaḥ syātsarvakilbiṣaiḥ | somavāre tvamāvāsyā tatraiva bahupuṇyadā | viprāṇāṃ bhojanaṃ deyaṃ tatra puṇya phalepsubhiḥ
បានឃើញព្រះអង្គ ហើយគោរពបូជា នោះនឹងរួចផុតពីបាបទាំងអស់។ បើថ្ងៃអមាវាស្យា (ថ្ងៃចន្ទថ្មី) ត្រូវនឹងថ្ងៃចន្ទនៅទីនោះ វាប្រទានបុណ្យកុសលច្រើន។ អ្នកប្រាថ្នាផលធម៌ គួរប្រគេនភោជនាដល់ព្រះព្រាហ្មណ៍នៅទីនោះឯង។
