Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 12
अनाशकं यो विदधाति मर्त्त्यो दिनेदिने यज्ञसहस्रपुण्यम् । स याति यानेन गणान्वितेन विधूय पापानि सुरैः स पूज्यते
anāśakaṃ yo vidadhāti marttyo dinedine yajñasahasrapuṇyam | sa yāti yānena gaṇānvitena vidhūya pāpāni suraiḥ sa pūjyate
ప్రతిదినం ఉపవాసం ఆచరించే మానవుడు సహస్ర యజ్ఞఫల పుణ్యాన్ని పొందుతాడు. పాపాలను తొలగించుకొని దేవగణాలతో కూడిన దివ్యవిమానంలో వెళ్లి దేవులచే పూజింపబడతాడు।
