Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 1
पुलस्त्य उवाच । ततो व्यासेश्वरं गच्छेद्व्यासेन स्थापितं हि यत् । तं दृष्ट्वा जायते मर्त्यो मेधावी मतिमाञ्छुचिः । सप्तजन्मांतराण्येव व्यासस्य वचनं यथा

Pulastya disse: “Então deve-se ir a Vyāseśvara, que de fato foi estabelecido por Vyāsa. Ao contemplá-lo, o mortal torna-se sábio, discernente e puro—assim o declara a própria palavra de Vyāsa, por sete nascimentos.”
