Skanda Purana — Vishnu Khanda, Shloka 75
तस्मादत्र प्रकर्तव्यं माधवे यत्नतो नरैः । स्नानं दानं हरिः पूज्यो ब्राह्मणाश्च विशेषतः । तीर्थे कृतेऽत्र मनुजैः सर्वकामफलप्रदः
tasmādatra prakartavyaṃ mādhave yatnato naraiḥ | snānaṃ dānaṃ hariḥ pūjyo brāhmaṇāśca viśeṣataḥ | tīrthe kṛte'tra manujaiḥ sarvakāmaphalapradaḥ
म्हणून माधव (वैशाख) महिन्यात मनुष्यांनी येथे प्रयत्नपूर्वक स्नान व दान करावे; हरिची पूजा करावी आणि विशेषतः ब्राह्मणांचा सत्कार करावा. या तीर्थात हे कर्म केल्यास ते मनुष्यांना सर्व कामनांचे फळ देते।
