Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 36
अथ ते ब्राह्मणा दृष्ट्वा तां शुद्धिं वस्त्रसंभवाम् । तं च श्वेतीकृतं चेदृग्रजकं विस्मयान्विताः
atha te brāhmaṇā dṛṣṭvā tāṃ śuddhiṃ vastrasaṃbhavām | taṃ ca śvetīkṛtaṃ cedṛgrajakaṃ vismayānvitāḥ
Kemudian para Brāhmaṇa itu, melihat kesucian yang terserlah melalui pakaian—dan melihat si tukang dobi itu sendiri menjadi putih demikian rupa—pun dipenuhi rasa takjub.

A tīrtha is implied by the Tīrthamāhātmya context, but the precise site name is not present in this verse.
None explicitly; the verse describes a wondrous result (śuddhi/whitening) associated with garments and the washerman.
