Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 20
सहस्रगुणितं तस्मात्सत्यंसत्यं मयोदितम् । हेममाषार्द्धमानेन द्वारकादानयोगतः
sahasraguṇitaṃ tasmātsatyaṃsatyaṃ mayoditam | hemamāṣārddhamānena dvārakādānayogataḥ
म्हणून ते पुण्य सहस्रगुणित होते—हे सत्य, सत्य, मी सांगितले आहे। द्वारकेत दानयोगाने केवळ अर्ध माषा सुवर्णदान केले तरी तोच वाढलेला फल मिळतो।
