Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 59
तदग्रे शेषतीर्थं च शेषमाधवसन्निधौ । तर्पितानां पितॄणां च यत्र तृप्तिर्न शिष्यते
tadagre śeṣatīrthaṃ ca śeṣamādhavasannidhau | tarpitānāṃ pitṝṇāṃ ca yatra tṛptirna śiṣyate
त्याच्या पुढे शेष-माधवाच्या सान्निध्यात शेष-तीर्थ आहे। तेथे पितरांना तर्पण दिल्यास त्यांची तृप्ती कधीही कमी होत नाही; ती अखंड व पूर्ण राहते।
