Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 42
तस्मात्सर्वप्रयत्नेन पूजयेत्तु विधानतः । यस्तत्र चतुरो मासन्सम्यग्व्रतपरायणः । अभ्यर्चयेद्धृषीकेशं न स भूयोऽभिजायते
tasmātsarvaprayatnena pūjayettu vidhānataḥ | yastatra caturo māsansamyagvrataparāyaṇaḥ | abhyarcayeddhṛṣīkeśaṃ na sa bhūyo'bhijāyate
Portanto, com todo esforço deve-se adorá-Lo segundo o rito. Quem ali, por quatro meses, se dedica devidamente aos votos e venera Hṛṣīkeśa com retidão, não torna a nascer.
