Skandapurana 14.60

Pulastya said: / Then one should go, best of kings, to the unsurpassed Jambūtīrtha; / a man who bathes there duly attains the desired reward / of the sacred fords situated in Jambūdvīpa, best of kings. // 1

In ancient times there was a kṣatriya named Nimi, born of the solar dynasty. / In the maturity of his age, he went to Mount Arbuda. // 2

Having undertaken fasting unto death, he stayed there, composed in mind. / Then hosts of sages came to his side by the thousands. // 3

They engaged in holy discourse on dharma concerning the great royal seers, / the ancient celestial seers, and other great souls. // 4

Then, at the end of the narrative, a true sage named Lomaśa / proclaimed the greatness originating from all sacred fords. // 5

Hearing that, King Nimi became exceedingly dejected, / O king, because he had not performed bathing in sacred fords previously. // 6

Then he said to that brahmin: ‘Is there any means, best of the twice-born, / by which the fruit of all sacred fords is obtained?’ // 7

Lomaśa said: / ‘Compassion has arisen in me, O king, seeing you deeply distressed; / for the purpose of a pilgrimage to sacred fords, I shall do what pleases you.’ // 8

And right here, O best of kings, by the power of mantras, / I will bring all the sacred fords born in Jambudvīpa; there is no doubt. 9.

Take your ritual ablution, O great king, right there when they are united / in this holy reservoir; I speak this truth to you. 7.3.60.10.

Having spoken thus, that brahmin seer concentrated his mind in meditation; / thereupon, all the sacred fords arrived there in that very instant. 11.

And to inspire trust, O royal seer, a rose-apple tree sprang up; / there the king took his ritual ablution in the eternal [waters] embodying all sacred fords. 12.

And he went to heaven with his physical body immediately after the ritual ablution in the sacred ford; / from that time onward, that sacred ford has been commemorated as Jambūtīrtha. 13.

When the sun has entered the sign of Virgo, whatever person performs an ancestral rite there, / the great seers say his merit is equal to [that of performing it at] Gayāśīrṣa. 14.

Thus ends the sixtieth chapter, named 'Description of the Glory of Jambūtīrtha,' in the third [section], the Arbudakhaṇḍa, in the seventh [section], the Prabhāsakhaṇḍa, of the glorious Skanda Mahāpurāṇa comprising eighty-one thousand verses. 60.
