Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 73
ततोपि मुचुकुंदाख्यं तीर्थं चातीव पुण्यदम् । यत्र स्नातो नरो जातु रिपुभिर्नाभिभूयते
tatopi mucukuṃdākhyaṃ tīrthaṃ cātīva puṇyadam | yatra snāto naro jātu ripubhirnābhibhūyate
याहूनही पुढे ‘मुचुकुंद’ नावाचे तीर्थ अत्यंत पुण्यदायक आहे; तेथे स्नान करणारा मनुष्य कधीही शत्रूंनी पराभूत होत नाही.
