Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 168
विश्वकर्मा च प्रासादलिंगं याम्येति नाम च । विभीषणश्च पांसूत्थं सुहृत्तमेति नाम च । वंशांकुरोत्थं सगरो नाम संगतमेव च
viśvakarmā ca prāsādaliṃgaṃ yāmyeti nāma ca | vibhīṣaṇaśca pāṃsūtthaṃ suhṛttameti nāma ca | vaṃśāṃkurotthaṃ sagaro nāma saṃgatameva ca
Viśvakarmā membentuk Liṅga laksana sebuah istana dan menamakannya “Yāmya”. Vibhīṣaṇa membentuk Liṅga yang lahir daripada debu dan menamakannya “Suhṛttama”, Sahabat terbaik. Sagara membentuk Liṅga yang muncul daripada tunas buluh, dan namanya “Saṅgata”, Yang bersatu padu.
