Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 77
स्वभक्तानां च लोकेषु देवीनां दास्यसे स्थितिम् । बालानां ये भविष्यंति वातपित्तकफोद्भवाः । पिटकास्ताः सुखेनैव शामयिष्यसि पूजनात्
svabhaktānāṃ ca lokeṣu devīnāṃ dāsyase sthitim | bālānāṃ ye bhaviṣyaṃti vātapittakaphodbhavāḥ | piṭakāstāḥ sukhenaiva śāmayiṣyasi pūjanāt
