Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 9
पर्णादोऽपि स्थितस्तत्र तस्याराधनतत्परः । तत्र भाद्रपदे मासे षष्ठ्यां स्नानं समाचरेत् । पर्णादित्यं ततः पश्येन्न स दुःखमवाप्नुयात्
parṇādo'pi sthitastatra tasyārādhanatatparaḥ | tatra bhādrapade māse ṣaṣṭhyāṃ snānaṃ samācaret | parṇādityaṃ tataḥ paśyenna sa duḥkhamavāpnuyāt
پرنادا بھی وہیں ٹھہرا رہا، اسی کی عبادت میں منہمک۔ وہاں بھاد्रپد کے مہینے میں ششٹھی کو غسل کرے؛ پھر پرنادتیہ کے درشن کرے—وہ غم میں نہیں پڑتا۔
