Also, the Skanda Purāṇa says: Where sin is for the person who has seen a Vaiṣṇava whose body is marked with conch and disk, who has tulasī mañjarīs on his head and whose limbs are smeared with gopī-candana?

In the Skanda Purāṇa there is a similar statement: “Persons whose bodies are marked with tilaka, symbolizing the conchshell, wheel, club and lotus—and who keep the leaves of tulasī on their heads, and whose bodies are always decorated with gopī-candana—even seen once, can help the seer be relieved from all sinful activities.”
