Skandapurana 16.132

Īśvara said: / Then one should go, O great goddess, to the excellent Vaiṣṇavī Śakti, / situated in the north-eastern direction from Someśa, not very far away. // 1

She is famous as Siddhalakṣmī, the presiding deity of the sacred seat here. // 2

Since Prabhāsa is situated as the first sacred seat in the universe, / there at that great sacred seat, O goddess, earthly and sky-roaming yoginīs / sport at will together with Bhairava, my beloved. // 3

The great seat Jālaṃdhara, and likewise Kāmarūpa, / and the glorious Rudranṛsiṃha is the fourth excellent seat. 4

The great seat Ratnavīrya, and also the seat of Kāśmīra: / O goddess, he who knows these seats is a knower of mantras. 5

And the excellent seat that is the foundation of all the seats, / famous by the name Mahodaya in Saurāṣṭra, O great goddess, / where knowledge assuming forms at will continues even today. 6

There on that seat dwells the goddess renowned as Mahālakṣmī, / who pacifies all sins and grants auspiciousness in all undertakings. 7

The person who worships her according to the rules on Śrīpañcamī, / with devotion using perfumes, flowers, and the like, whence can there be any fear of misfortune for him? 8

He who, facing the northern direction in the presence of Mahālakṣmī, / mutters that queen of mantras renowned as Siddhalakṣmī, 9

according to the rules of a hundred-thousand recitations, preceded by initiation, ablution, and the like, / accompanied by an oblation of one tenth [of the recitations] with the three sweets, auspicious fruits, and shoots, 10

thus Lakṣmī becomes visible to him, without doubt; / she grants the desired siddhi in this world and in the next. 11

He who worships her with devotion according to the rules on the third, / the eighth, and the fourteenth [tithis], siddhi rests in his hand. 12

Thus ends the one hundred thirty-second chapter, titled “Description of the Greatness of Siddhalakṣmī,” in the first [part], the Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya, of the seventh [section], the Prabhāsakhaṇḍa, in the glorious Skanda Mahāpurāṇa consisting of eighty-one thousand verses. 132
