Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 8
दिनेदिने भवेत्तस्य वाजिमेधाधिकं फलम् । माघे मासि तृतीयायां या नारी तं प्रपूजयेत् । तदन्वयेऽपि दौर्भाग्यं दुःखं शोकश्च नो भवेत्
dinedine bhavettasya vājimedhādhikaṃ phalam | māghe māsi tṛtīyāyāṃ yā nārī taṃ prapūjayet | tadanvaye'pi daurbhāgyaṃ duḥkhaṃ śokaśca no bhavet
