Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 63
ईश्वर उवाच । धर्मारण्यमिदं ख्यातं सदा भूयाद्युगेयुगे । त्वन्नाम्ना स्थापितं देव ख्यातिमेतद्गमिष्यति । अथान्यदपि यत्किंचित्करोम्येष वदस्व तत

Wika ni Īśvara: “Ang pook na ito’y tunay na kikilalaning Dharmāraṇya sa bawat yugto at kapanahunan. Itinatag sa iyong pangalan, O Deva, makakamtan nito ang gayong katanyagan. At kung may iba ka pang nais na ipagawa sa Akin, sabihin mo.”
