Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 10
पंचूषणं हि कर्त्तव्यं दातव्यं श्रमणे सदा । श्रुत्वा वाक्यं ततो विप्रास्तस्य दंतानपीडयन्
paṃcūṣaṇaṃ hi karttavyaṃ dātavyaṃ śramaṇe sadā | śrutvā vākyaṃ tato viprāstasya daṃtānapīḍayan
Amalan Pañcūṣaṇa hendaklah benar-benar dilaksanakan, dan sedekah hendaklah sentiasa diberikan kepada śramaṇa. Mendengar kata-kata itu, para brāhmaṇa pun mengertakkan gigi kerana gelisah.
