Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 28
अयं तु सङ्गमः पुण्यो यथा वेण्यां सितासितः । दृष्ट्वा तीर्थं तु ते सर्वे गीर्वाणा हृष्टचेतसः
ayaṃ tu saṅgamaḥ puṇyo yathā veṇyāṃ sitāsitaḥ | dṛṣṭvā tīrthaṃ tu te sarve gīrvāṇā hṛṣṭacetasaḥ
ഈ സംഗമം പുണ്യമാണ്—വേണിയിൽ വെളുപ്പും കറുപ്പും ചേർന്നുനിൽക്കുന്നതുപോലെ. ആ തീർത്ഥം ദർശിച്ചപ്പോൾ ഗീർവാണരായ ദേവന്മാർ എല്ലാവരും ഹർഷചിത്തരായി।
