Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 7
तत्र स्नात्वा नरो भक्त्या मुच्यते ब्रह्महत्यया । तत्र श्राद्धं करिष्यंति मनुष्याः श्रद्धयान्विताः
tatra snātvā naro bhaktyā mucyate brahmahatyayā | tatra śrāddhaṃ kariṣyaṃti manuṣyāḥ śraddhayānvitāḥ
Sa pagligo roon nang may debosyon, ang tao ay napapalaya maging sa kasalanang pagpatay sa brahmana. Doon, ang mga taong may pananampalataya ay magsasagawa ng mga ritong śrāddha para sa mga ninuno.
