Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 56
एवं तत्त्वमयं क्षेत्रं सर्वतीर्थमयं शुभम् । प्रभासमेव जानीहि मा कार्षीः संशयं क्वचित्
evaṃ tattvamayaṃ kṣetraṃ sarvatīrthamayaṃ śubham | prabhāsameva jānīhi mā kārṣīḥ saṃśayaṃ kvacit
இவ்வாறு இந்த க்ஷேத்திரம் தத்துவமயம், மங்களகரம், எல்லா தீர்த்தங்களையும் தன்னகத்தே கொண்டது. இதை நிச்சயமாகப் பிரபாசமே என அறி; எப்போதும் சந்தேகம் கொள்ளாதே.
