Skandapurana 16.59

Īśvara said: / Now I shall tell you of the third power of knowledge, consisting of Śiva, / situated in the middle of Prabhāsa sacred field, destroying the flood of poverty,

that goddess named Ajā, who is situated to the south of Rāhvīśa, / who issued forth from my sixth face that is worshipped by Viṣṇu.

The goddess said: / Five faces are well known to belong to you, O lord of gods, O sovereign; / by what name is that face remembered which is the sixth, O god? / How was she who is renowned as Goddess Ajā born from it?

Īśvara said: / Well asked by you, O goddess! That which is secret even to one's own sons, / that I shall declare to you as spoken in the esoteric scriptures.

Originally indeed, O queen of gods, my faces were seven: / the five beginning with Sadyojāta, and the sixth is remembered as Aja,

and the seventh by the name Picu; thus were my seven faces. / Out of them, Aja was given to Brahmā, and the Picu face to Viṣṇu.

Therefore, O great goddess, I have now become five-faced. / Aja was born as Brahmā, and Picu was born as Viṣṇu.

From the Aja face, O great goddess, Ajā of great splendour was born / during the terrible battle with the demon Andhaka, through my wrath, O passionate lady.

Bearing a sword and shield, beautiful, mounted upon a lion, / crushing the great daityas, accompanied by ten million goddesses,

that lion-mounted goddess pursued from behind those daityas / who, out of fear of her, fled towards the southern ocean.

Running hither and thither and being slain by her hordes, / fleeing to the great ocean, they reached Prabhāsa sacred field.

Some daityas were killed there, and some went to Pātāla. / Seeing them completely destroyed, that lion-mounted goddess,

recognizing the sacred field to be pure, the auspicious one remained in that place, / situated in the northeast direction from Someśa, and situated to the north of Saurīśa.

Whosoever, woman or man, beholds her situated there / shall be endowed with vitality and good fortune for seven births.

The person who performs songs, instrumental music, dances, and so forth there / will have no misfortune in their lineage, by her grace.

O Great Goddess, as many threads as there are in the red wick / of the lamp with ghee that a woman offers there, / for that many future lifetimes she will obtain good fortune.

And whoever recites this daily, especially on the third lunar day, / or hears it with devotion, will attain all desires.

Thus the series of the three Śaktis of Rudra has been declared in brief.

Having worshipped these Śaktis, one who seeks the full fruit of the pilgrimage / should then worship Someśa, or else worship the one boon-granting [goddess].

Thus ends the fifty-ninth chapter, titled 'Description of the Māhātmya of Ajādevī', in the first [part], the Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya, of the seventh [section], the Prabhāsakhaṇḍa, in the glorious Skandapurāṇa consisting of eighty-one thousand verses.

Thus ends the instruction on the triad of Rudra's Śaktis.
