Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 1
ईश्वर उवाच । पंचैवं सिद्धलिंगानि कथितानि तव प्रिये । यश्चैनं वेद संकेतं क्षेत्रवासी स उच्यते
īśvara uvāca | paṃcaivaṃ siddhaliṃgāni kathitāni tava priye | yaścainaṃ veda saṃketaṃ kṣetravāsī sa ucyate
ईश्वर म्हणाले—हे प्रिये! अशा प्रकारे पाच सिद्धलिंग तुला सांगितली. आणि जो हा पवित्र संकेत जाणतो, तोच खऱ्या अर्थाने क्षेत्रवासी म्हणविला जातो।
