Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 26
विधि मन्त्रक्रियाहीनां पूजां गृह्णाति केशवः । माहात्म्यं तिष्ठते नित्यं लिखितं यस्य वेश्मनि । न तस्यागःसहस्रैस्तु कृतैर्लिप्यति मानवः
vidhi mantrakriyāhīnāṃ pūjāṃ gṛhṇāti keśavaḥ | māhātmyaṃ tiṣṭhate nityaṃ likhitaṃ yasya veśmani | na tasyāgaḥsahasraistu kṛtairlipyati mānavaḥ

Dvārakā, through the sanctifying potency of its māhātmya kept in the home.
