Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 21
लिंगमेतद्धि सर्वासां पूजानां फलमाप्नुयात् । अद्यप्रभृति ये वृक्षा दैविकाः पार्थिवाश्च ये । तेषां सान्निध्यमत्रास्तु प्रसादात्तव शंकर
liṃgametaddhi sarvāsāṃ pūjānāṃ phalamāpnuyāt | adyaprabhṛti ye vṛkṣā daivikāḥ pārthivāśca ye | teṣāṃ sānnidhyamatrāstu prasādāttava śaṃkara
ಈ ಲಿಂಗವೇ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪೂಜೆಗಳ ಫಲವನ್ನು ನೀಡಲಿ. ಮತ್ತು ಇಂದಿನಿಂದ ದೈವಿಕವೂ ಪಾರ್ಥಿವವೂ ಆದ ಎಲ್ಲ ವೃಕ್ಷಗಳ ಸಾನ್ನಿಧ್ಯವು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರಸಾದದಿಂದ ಇರಲಿ, ಹೇ ಶಂಕರ।
