Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 27
अथ देवगणाः सर्वे तत्र गत्वा तदाऽश्रमान् । चक्रुः पृथक्पृथग्घृष्टास्तपोऽर्थं कृतनिश्चयाः
atha devagaṇāḥ sarve tatra gatvā tadā'śramān | cakruḥ pṛthakpṛthagghṛṣṭāstapo'rthaṃ kṛtaniścayāḥ
അപ്പോൾ എല്ലാ ദേവഗണങ്ങളും അവിടെ ചെന്നു, തപസ്സിനായി ദൃഢനിശ്ചയത്തോടെ സന്തോഷത്തോടെ, ഓരോരുത്തരും വേർവേറായി ആശ്രമങ്ങൾ സ്ഥാപിച്ചു.
