Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 23
यश्चानेन महादेवि द्वे संध्येऽस्तमनोदये । स्तौत्यर्कं प्रयतो भूत्वा सर्वपापैः प्रमुच्यते । सर्वकामसमृद्धात्मा सूर्यलोकं स गच्छति
yaścānena mahādevi dve saṃdhye'stamanodaye | stautyarkaṃ prayato bhūtvā sarvapāpaiḥ pramucyate | sarvakāmasamṛddhātmā sūryalokaṃ sa gacchati
ಹೇ ಮಹಾದೇವಿ! ಯಾರು ಈ ಸ್ತವದಿಂದ ಅಸ್ತಮಯ ಮತ್ತು ಉದಯ ಎಂಬ ಎರಡು ಸಂಧ್ಯಾಕಾಲಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಯಮಪೂರ್ವಕವಾಗಿ ಸೂರ್ಯನನ್ನು ಸ್ತುತಿಸುತ್ತಾರೋ, ಅವರು ಸರ್ವಪಾಪಗಳಿಂದ ಮುಕ್ತರಾಗುತ್ತಾರೆ; ಸರ್ವಕಾಮಸಮೃದ್ಧರಾಗಿ ಸೂರ್ಯಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾರೆ।
