Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 4
प्रसन्नस्ते महाभाग वरं वरय सुव्रत । दुर्लभं त्रिषु लोकेषु ददामि तव खेचर
prasannaste mahābhāga varaṃ varaya suvrata | durlabhaṃ triṣu lokeṣu dadāmi tava khecara
Wahai yang amat berbahagia, Aku berkenan kepadamu; wahai yang teguh dalam nazar suci, pilihlah suatu anugerah. Wahai pengembara langit, bahkan yang sukar diperoleh di tiga alam pun akan Kuberikan kepadamu.

FAQs
Divine grace responds to steadfast vows; when the Lord is pleased, even the rarest attainments become possible.
The broader setting is the Revā (Narmadā) sacred region in the Revā Khaṇḍa, though this verse itself focuses on the boon-dialogue rather than a named tīrtha.
No explicit ritual is prescribed here; the emphasis is on su-vrata (steadfast vow/observance) as the basis for receiving grace.
