Skanda Purana — Vishnu Khanda, Shloka 83
पञ्चम्यामपि शुक्लायां श्रावणस्य विशेषतः । अन्यदा पर्वणि श्रेष्ठं विशेषं स्नानमाचरेत् । सहस्रधारातीर्थे च नरः स्वर्गमवाप्नुयात्
pañcamyāmapi śuklāyāṃ śrāvaṇasya viśeṣataḥ | anyadā parvaṇi śreṣṭhaṃ viśeṣaṃ snānamācaret | sahasradhārātīrthe ca naraḥ svargamavāpnuyāt
विशेषतः श्रावण महिन्यातील शुक्ल पंचमीस, तसेच अन्य श्रेष्ठ पर्वदिनी, विशेष स्नान करावे. सहस्रधारा तीर्थात स्नान केल्यास मनुष्य स्वर्गप्राप्ती करतो.
