Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 81
अद्यापि दृश्यते चात्र प्रत्ययस्तस्य संभवे । सर्वेषामाहिताग्नीनां नागराणां विशेषतः । कलि कालेऽपि संप्राप्ते न यक्ष्मा संप्रजायते
adyāpi dṛśyate cātra pratyayastasya saṃbhave | sarveṣāmāhitāgnīnāṃ nāgarāṇāṃ viśeṣataḥ | kali kāle'pi saṃprāpte na yakṣmā saṃprajāyate
आजही येथे त्याच्या प्रभावाचा प्रत्यय दिसतो. ज्यांनी आहिताग्नी स्थापन केले आहेत—विशेषतः नागर लोकांमध्ये—कलियुग आले तरी यक्ष्मा उत्पन्न होत नाही.
