Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 32
दुर्गन्धा भासुरा देवि वहते रसरूपिणी । तस्या रसेन संयुक्तं पृथग्वर्णं हि कर्बुरम्
durgandhā bhāsurā devi vahate rasarūpiṇī | tasyā rasena saṃyuktaṃ pṛthagvarṇaṃ hi karburam
اے دیوی، وہاں رَس (جوہر) کی صورت ایک چمکتی دھارا بہتی ہے، جو کبھی کبھی بدبو دار بھی ہوتی ہے۔ اس رَس کے ساتھ مل کر وہ کَربُر یعنی چِتکبری ہو جاتی ہے—واقعی جدا جدا رنگوں والی۔
Skanda (deduced from Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya narrative style)
Tirtha: Rasa-vāhinī (essence-flow) associated with the Prabhāsa kuṇḍa
Type: kund
Listener: Devī
Scene: A shining but slightly noxious stream of essence flows near the kuṇḍa; where it mixes, the ground/water becomes mottled with distinct colors, like mineral marbling under sunlight.
