Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 116
अत्र स्नाता नरा विप्रा मोक्षभाजो न संशयः । कीर्तयेदिममध्यायं शृणुयाद्वा समाहितः । चक्र तीर्थाभिषेकस्य प्राप्नोति फलमुत्तमम् । इह लोके सुखं प्राप्य परत्रापिसुखं लभेत्
atra snātā narā viprā mokṣabhājo na saṃśayaḥ | kīrtayedimamadhyāyaṃ śṛṇuyādvā samāhitaḥ | cakra tīrthābhiṣekasya prāpnoti phalamuttamam | iha loke sukhaṃ prāpya paratrāpisukhaṃ labhet
Wahai para brāhmaṇa, sesiapa yang mandi suci di sini menjadi layak bagi mokṣa—tiada keraguan. Barangsiapa dengan minda terhimpun membaca bab ini atau mendengarnya, memperoleh buah tertinggi daripada abhiṣeka di Cakratīrtha. Setelah meraih kebahagiaan di dunia ini, dia juga memperoleh kebahagiaan di alam kemudian.
