Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 49
गोवृषं च महीं धान्यं तत्र दत्त्वाक्षयं फलम् । शुभस्याप्यशुभस्यापि तत्र तीर्थे न संशयः
govṛṣaṃ ca mahīṃ dhānyaṃ tatra dattvākṣayaṃ phalam | śubhasyāpyaśubhasyāpi tatra tīrthe na saṃśayaḥ
त्या तीर्थी गाय, वृषभ, भूमी किंवा धान्य दान केल्यास अक्षय फळ मिळते। शुभ कर्म करणाऱ्यासही व अशुभ कर्म करणाऱ्यासही ते तीर्थ फलदायी आहे—यात संशय नाही।
