Skandapurana 16.100

Īśvara said:
Then, O great goddess, one should go to that which stands to the north of both of them,
and likewise to the northwest of Brahmā in the form of a child,

to Sāmbāditya, O best of the gods, which was established by Sāmba.
For there are three places of the god, the Sun, on this island-continent:

the first is called Mitravana, and likewise Muṇḍīra;
and relying upon Prabhāsa sacred field, Sāmbāditya is the third.

In that sacred field, O great goddess, the city named Sāmba
is the eternal second place of the Sun forever.

Out of affection for Sāmba and for showing grace to people, the Sun is there.
There, as Mitra, with his twelfth portion, through friendly eyes,

looking upon the entire universe, he always stands for the sake of its well-being.
The Blessed One himself receives the worship offered according to rule.

The Goddess said:
Who is this Sāmba? Whose son is he, by whose name the Sun's city is known,
or to whom, of virtuous deeds, this thousand-rayed Sun is the granter of boons?

Īśvara said:
Among these twelve suns of great might who shine forth,
he who is called Viṣṇu is celebrated in all the worlds.

Here that blessed and all-pervading one attained the state of Vāsudeva.

To him was born by Jāmbavatī a son of great might, Sāmba.
He, severely cursed by his father, contracted leprosy.
By him the Sun was installed, and a city was founded in his own name.

The Goddess said:
For what reason was this son cursed by his own father?
The reason for which he cursed his son could not have been minor, O God.

Īśvara said:
Listen attentively to the cause of his curse:
The blessed one named Durvāsas, born from a portion of myself,

wandered as a pilgrim through the three worlds.
Then, when he reached Dvāravatī, the people gathered before him.

Seeing that seer who had arrived, Sāmba, proud of his beauty—
[seeing the seer] tawny-eyed, matted-haired, harsh, of distorted form, and emaciated—

treated him with disrespect by his looks and by touching him.
Looking upon his face, the fool contorted his own face;
so did that chief of the Yadu clan, haughty with youth.

Then the best of seers, the blessed Durvāsas of great splendor, angered,
shaking his head, spoke to Sāmba:

"Since, seeing me deformed, proud of your own beauty,
you showed arrogance toward me in my gait and appearance,
therefore you shall before long be seized by leprosy!"

Thus ends the one hundredth chapter, entitled "The Description of the Imparting of the Curse to Sāmba by Durvāsas," at the commencement of the māhātmya of Sāmbāditya, in the Middle Pilgrimage, in the first part, the Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya, in the seventh section, the Prabhāsakhaṇḍa, in the glorious Skanda Mahāpurāṇa, a collection of eighty-one thousand [verses].
