Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 22
तथाहं कीर्त्तयिष्यामि शृणुष्वैकमनाः प्रिये । स्नात्वा तु विमले तीर्थे शुक्लांबरधरः शुचिः । पूजोपहारसंयुक्तस्ततो ब्रह्माणमर्चयेत्
tathāhaṃ kīrttayiṣyāmi śṛṇuṣvaikamanāḥ priye | snātvā tu vimale tīrthe śuklāṃbaradharaḥ śuciḥ | pūjopahārasaṃyuktastato brahmāṇamarcayet
Vậy ta sẽ thuật lại—hãy lắng nghe với tâm nhất điểm, hỡi người thương. Tắm gội nơi tīrtha thanh tịnh, mặc y phục trắng và giữ thân tâm trong sạch, lại sắm đủ lễ vật cúng dường, rồi hãy chí thành lễ bái Brahmā.
