Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 75
यावत्स्वस्थोस्ति देहोयं यावन्नेंद्रियविक्लवः । तावद्व्रतानि कुर्वीत यतो देहफलं व्रतम्
yāvatsvasthosti dehoyaṃ yāvanneṃdriyaviklavaḥ | tāvadvratāni kurvīta yato dehaphalaṃ vratam
जोपर्यंत हा देह स्वस्थ आहे आणि इंद्रिये विकल नाहीत, तोपर्यंत व्रते करीत राहावे; कारण देहाचे फळ व्रताचरणानेच मिळते।
