Skandapurana 16.54

Īśvara said: / Then one should go, O great goddess, to the excellent Gandharveśvara, / situated near the north of Daṇḍapāṇi's abode, // 1

where indeed there was a king of gandharvas famous as Ghanavāha; / he had a daughter of great splendor renowned as Gandharvasenā. // 2

She, proud of her beauty, was cursed by the attendant Śikhaṇḍin; / then a favor was granted to her by the seer Gośṛṅga, // 3

directing her to the worship of Someśa by means of the Monday vow. / Then, having come to the sacred field and performed very arduous tapas, // 4

the king of gandharvas himself installed a liṅga there; / likewise, a liṅga was installed there by his daughter. // 5

Now, whoever diligently worships the liṅga named Ghanavāheśvara / right there near Daṇḍapāṇi, O ruler of the gods, // 6

and, restrained and pure, beholds it, attains the world of the gandharvas. / Thus has the excellent liṅga of the gandharvas been told to you, O goddess. // 7

The third [liṅga] destroys all sins and increases merit. / A person, having bathed in the Agnitīrtha and worshipped [the liṅga] worshipped by the gandharva, // 8

attains nirvāṇa when the northern course of the sun arrives. / Having heard and applauded its māhātmya, one is released from great fear. // 9

Thus ends the fifty-fourth chapter, entitled 'Description of the Māhātmya of Gandharveśvara', in the first [part], the Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya, in the seventh section, the Prabhāsakhaṇḍa, of the glorious Skanda Mahāpurāṇa, an eighty-one-thousand-verse compendium. // 54
