Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 39
उपोष्यैकादशीं यस्तु त्रयोदश्यां तु पारणम् । करोति तस्य नश्येत्तु द्वादश दद्वादशीफलम्
upoṣyaikādaśīṃ yastu trayodaśyāṃ tu pāraṇam | karoti tasya naśyettu dvādaśa dadvādaśīphalam
جو ایکادشی کا اُپواس رکھ کر تریودشی کو پارن کرتا ہے، اس کا دوادشی کا پھل ضائع ہو جاتا ہے؛ بے شک دوادشی کی پُنّیہ کھو جاتی ہے۔
