Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 10
पंचूषणं हि कर्त्तव्यं दातव्यं श्रमणे सदा । श्रुत्वा वाक्यं ततो विप्रास्तस्य दंतानपीडयन्
paṃcūṣaṇaṃ hi karttavyaṃ dātavyaṃ śramaṇe sadā | śrutvā vākyaṃ tato viprāstasya daṃtānapīḍayan
Deve-se, de fato, cumprir a observância de Pañcūṣaṇa e dar sempre dádivas ao śramaṇa. Ao ouvirem tais palavras, os brāhmaṇas rangeram os dentes, perturbados.
