Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 96
एकः शंखो महानादो वाजियुक्तो रथस्तथा । ससारथिः पताका च तीर्थादुत्तस्थुरग्रतः
ekaḥ śaṃkho mahānādo vājiyukto rathastathā | sasārathiḥ patākā ca tīrthāduttasthuragrataḥ
മഹാനാദമുള്ള ഒരു ശംഖും പ്രത്യക്ഷപ്പെട്ടു; അതുപോലെ കുതിരകളാൽ യുക്തമായ രഥവും; സാരഥിയോടും പതാകയോടും കൂടി—അവന്റെ മുമ്പിൽ ആ തീർത്ഥത്തിൽ നിന്ന് ഉയർന്നു വന്നു.
