Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 27
अथ प्रभाते मार्गेण गच्छन्ती शनकैः सती । अतीत्य दूरमध्वानं ददर्श विमलं सरः
atha prabhāte mārgeṇa gacchantī śanakaiḥ satī | atītya dūramadhvānaṃ dadarśa vimalaṃ saraḥ
ထို့နောက် မိုးလင်းချိန်၌ သီလရှိသော မိန်းမသည် လမ်းအတိုင်း ဖြည်းဖြည်းချင်း သွားလေ၏။ ခရီးဝေးကို ကျော်လွန်ပြီးနောက် သန့်ရှင်းကြည်လင်သော ရေကန်တစ်ကန်ကို မြင်လေ၏။

FAQs
In Purāṇic literature, the appearance of pure waters often signals providence—support arriving amid hardship.
A ‘vimala’ (pure) lake is mentioned, but it is not named as a specific tīrtha in this verse.
None explicitly; however, lakes in Purāṇas commonly imply snāna (ritual bathing) as a later narrative possibility.
