Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 16
ईश्वर उवाच । एवं भविष्यतीत्युक्त्वा तदाऽमन्त्र्य युधिष्ठिरम् । प्रययौ द्वारकां कृष्णः सर्वलोकनमस्कृतः
īśvara uvāca | evaṃ bhaviṣyatītyuktvā tadā'mantrya yudhiṣṭhiram | prayayau dvārakāṃ kṛṣṇaḥ sarvalokanamaskṛtaḥ
ஈசுவர் கூறினார்—“அப்படியே ஆகும்.” என்று சொல்லி, அப்போது யுதிஷ்டிரரிடம் விடைபெற்று, எல்லா உலகங்களாலும் வணங்கப்படும் ஸ்ரீகிருஷ்ணன் த்வாரகைக்கு புறப்பட்டான்.

None in this verse; it records the divine confirmation that underwrites later tīrtha-ritual fruits.
