Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 80
इत्येवमादिसर्वेषु मध्येऽन्यत्र न कर्मणि । यत्फलं सर्वतीर्थेषु सर्वयज्ञेषु यत्फलम् । तत्फलं तव तोयस्य स्पर्शादेव भविष्यति
ityevamādisarveṣu madhye'nyatra na karmaṇi | yatphalaṃ sarvatīrtheṣu sarvayajñeṣu yatphalam | tatphalaṃ tava toyasya sparśādeva bhaviṣyati

Īśvara (narrator framing the dialogue; the praise is voiced as a boon/assurance to Sāgara)
