Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 133
इतिरयित्वा वचनं महात्मा स नंदभद्रः सहसा तदैव । गृहाद्विनिःसृत्य जगाम पुण्यं बहूदकं भट्टरवेस्तु कुंडम्
itirayitvā vacanaṃ mahātmā sa naṃdabhadraḥ sahasā tadaiva | gṛhādviniḥsṛtya jagāma puṇyaṃ bahūdakaṃ bhaṭṭaravestu kuṃḍam
இவ்வாறு கூறிய மகாத்மா நந்தபத்ரன் உடனே விரைந்து வீட்டிலிருந்து வெளியேறி, புண்ணியமிக்க பஹூதகம் எனப்படும்—பட்டரவியின் புனிதக் குண்டத்திற்குச் சென்றான்.
