Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 14
सावित्रीं च ततो दृष्ट्वा ब्रह्मणा स्थापितां च वै । कृत्वा चायतनं दिव्यं स्वां मूर्तिं सन्निवेश्य च । नाम चक्रे तदा देव्याः स्वयं तस्याः पितामहः
sāvitrīṃ ca tato dṛṣṭvā brahmaṇā sthāpitāṃ ca vai | kṛtvā cāyatanaṃ divyaṃ svāṃ mūrtiṃ sanniveśya ca | nāma cakre tadā devyāḥ svayaṃ tasyāḥ pitāmahaḥ
ನಂತರ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮನಿಂದ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿತಳಾದ ಸಾವಿತ್ರೀ ದೇವಿಯನ್ನೂ ನೋಡಿ, ಅವನು ದಿವ್ಯಾಲಯವನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಿ ತನ್ನ ಸ್ವಮೂರ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿಷ್ಠಾಪಿಸಿದನು; ಆಗ ಸ್ವಯಂ ಪಿತಾಮಹ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮನೇ ಆ ದೇವಿಗೆ ನಾಮಕರಣ ಮಾಡಿದನು।
