Verse 6.22.20

एकार्थानि समग्राणि बहुपाठानि मेऽनघ ।
पुराणानि प्रवर्तन्ते प्रसृतानि युगंप्रति ॥ २० ॥

ekārthāni samagrāṇi bahupāṭhāni me'nagha |
purāṇāni pravartante prasṛtāni yugaṃprati || 20 ||

O sinless saint! The puranas also though they agree in the main substance, are so full of interpolations, that they have been greatly multiplied in successive ages.
