Skandapurana 5.160

Sūta said: / Then all the twice-born were seated by him in the Brahmasthāna, / and then those called the fourfold assembly were seated for him.

He too, having discarded the hair growing from all his limbs, / accompanied by his own wife and bowing to the best of the twice-born,

With folded hands, he spoke these words:
“O twice-born, this temple has been built by me for this Sun.

May it attain renown in the three worlds as Puṣpāditya.”
The brahmins said:
“We shall not bring to ruin the fame of Yājñavalkya.

We will grant an expiation pleasing to your heart.”
Other brahmins, adopting an impartial stance, said:

“For the maintenance of this deity, let one hundred thousand [oblations] be appointed in the burnt offering here,
and one hundred thousand [coins] for all the brahmins, for purification through expiation.”

Puṣpa said:
“Therefore, best of the twice-born, proclaim this [deity] by my name;
proclaim the renown ‘Puṣpāditya’ day and night.

And the revered Durgā, who was installed formerly by this wife of mine,
let her also be known by her name here in this noble city.”

The brahmins said:
“Formerly, Duḥśīla built a temple belonging to Hara,
and with minds pleased by you, you [also rebuilt one] installed by Durvāsas.

Even so, O twice-born, let the temple of this wretched man be provided for.

By the mere name of the deity, as formerly by Duḥśīla,
by this man earlier, this Sun was worshipped with his own flesh.

Therefore, there is no harm if the name is given as before.
By the name of Māhikā, the name [of the goddess] shall indeed become Māhī.”

Sūta said:
When the donation was given by Puṣpa with the consent of the twice-born,
the middle name was made Puṣpāditya, as has been heard.

And as for the goddess Durgā there [installed] by his wife, O best of the twice-born,
by the name of Māhikā, she indeed became Māhī.

Sūta said:
All this has been related to you as I was asked, O best of the twice-born,
how [the Sun] consecrated by Yājñavalkya became Puṣpāditya.

Even today, in the Kali age, when beheld with devotion, that lord of the gods
destroys the sins of men accumulated on that day; of this there is no doubt.

Moreover, on a Sunday joined with a seventh lunar day, O best of the twice-born,
whoever, holding a fruit in hand, performs circumambulation
one hundred and eight times with genuine devotion, obtains the desired fruit.

Whoever constantly beholds Durgā Māhīkā
never encounters hardships on that day.

A man who worships her on the fourteenth day of the bright half of Caitra
meets with no misfortune anywhere for an entire year.
Thus ends the one hundred and sixty-first chapter, entitled 'Description of the Glory of Puṣpāditya', in the glory of the sacred field of Hāṭakeśvara in the Nāgarakhaṇḍa, the sixth section of the auspicious Skandapurāṇa consisting of eighty-one thousand verses.
