Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 3
शृङ्गारेश्वरनामा च तेन पापौघनाशनः । पूजयेद्यो विधानेन तत्र स्थाने स्थितं भवम् । दारिद्र्यदुःखसंयुक्तो न स भूयाद्भवे क्वचित्
śṛṅgāreśvaranāmā ca tena pāpaughanāśanaḥ | pūjayedyo vidhānena tatra sthāne sthitaṃ bhavam | dāridryaduḥkhasaṃyukto na sa bhūyādbhave kvacit
म्हणून ते ‘शृंगारेश्वर’ म्हणून प्रसिद्ध—पापसमूह नाश करणारे। जो विधिपूर्वक त्या स्थानी स्थित भव (शिव) यांची पूजा करतो, तो पुन्हा संसारात कधीही दारिद्र्य व दुःखाने ग्रस्त होत नाही।
