Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 2
षोडशैरुपचारैश्च विष्णोः पूजा सदा तपः । ततः सुप्ते जगन्नाथे महत्तप उदाहृतम्
ṣoḍaśairupacāraiśca viṣṇoḥ pūjā sadā tapaḥ | tataḥ supte jagannāthe mahattapa udāhṛtam
A adoração de Viṣṇu com as dezesseis oferendas é sempre uma forma de tapas. Portanto, quando Jagannātha (Senhor do universo) repousa em Seu sono sagrado (durante o Cāturmāsya), tal adoração é declarada grande austeridade.
