Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 47
मुनय ऊचुः । इतः क्रोशान्तरादर्वाक्तीर्थं परमशोभनम् । नर्मदादक्षिणे कूले ततो द्रक्ष्यसि नान्यथा
munaya ūcuḥ | itaḥ krośāntarādarvāktīrthaṃ paramaśobhanam | narmadādakṣiṇe kūle tato drakṣyasi nānyathā
मुनी म्हणाले—इथून एक क्रोशाच्या आत परम शोभन ‘अर्वाक-तीर्थ’ आहे. नर्मदेच्या दक्षिण तीरावर तू ते नक्की पाहशील; अन्यथा नाही.
