Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 71
अपि पापसमाचारः किं पुनर्धार्मिकः शुचिः । गोमती संगमे स्नात्वा चक्रतीर्थे तथैव च । मुच्यते पातकैर्घोरै र्मानवो नात्र संशयः
api pāpasamācāraḥ kiṃ punardhārmikaḥ śuciḥ | gomatī saṃgame snātvā cakratīrthe tathaiva ca | mucyate pātakairghorai rmānavo nātra saṃśayaḥ
पापाचारात रत मनुष्यही—मग धर्मात्मा व शुचि यांची तर गोष्टच काय—गोमती-संगमात आणि तसेच चक्रतीर्थात स्नान करून घोर पातकांपासून मुक्त होतो; यात संशय नाही.
