Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 65
एवं महोत्सवो जज्ञे तत स्तुंबुरुपूर्वकैः । गीयमानेषु गीतेषु यथापूर्वं त्रिविष्टपे
evaṃ mahotsavo jajñe tata stuṃburupūrvakaiḥ | gīyamāneṣu gīteṣu yathāpūrvaṃ triviṣṭape
ಹೀಗೆ ಮಹೋತ್ಸವವು ಉದಯವಾಯಿತು; ತುಂಭುರು ಮೊದಲಾದವರು ಹಾಡಿದ ಗೀತೆಗಳ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ಅದು ಪೂರ್ವಕಾಲದ ತ್ರಿವಿಷ್ಟಪ (ಸ್ವರ್ಗ) ಉತ್ಸವದಂತೆ ಕಾಣಿಸಿತು।
