Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 3
कुरुक्षेत्रं यथा पुण्यं सार्वकामिकमुत्तमम् । इदं तीर्थं तथा पुण्यं सर्वकामफलप्रदम्
kurukṣetraṃ yathā puṇyaṃ sārvakāmikamuttamam | idaṃ tīrthaṃ tathā puṇyaṃ sarvakāmaphalapradam
குருக்ஷேத்திரம் எவ்வாறு மிகப் புண்ணியமிக்கதும் எல்லா விருப்பங்களையும் நிறைவேற்றும் உத்தமத் தலமோ, அதுபோலவே இந்தத் தீர்த்தமும் புண்ணியமிக்கது; எல்லா ஆசைகளின் பலனையும் அளிப்பது।
