Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 3
शृङ्गारेश्वरनामा च तेन पापौघनाशनः । पूजयेद्यो विधानेन तत्र स्थाने स्थितं भवम् । दारिद्र्यदुःखसंयुक्तो न स भूयाद्भवे क्वचित्
śṛṅgāreśvaranāmā ca tena pāpaughanāśanaḥ | pūjayedyo vidhānena tatra sthāne sthitaṃ bhavam | dāridryaduḥkhasaṃyukto na sa bhūyādbhave kvacit
Oleh itu baginda disebut Śṛṅgāreśvara—pemusnah himpunan dosa. Sesiapa yang, menurut tatacara yang benar, memuja Bhava (Śiva) yang bersemayam di tempat suci itu, tidak akan lagi dalam kewujudan duniawi dibebani kemiskinan dan penderitaan.
