आद्यं रङ्गमिति प्रोक्तं विमानं रङ्गसंज्ञितम् । श्रीमुष्णं वेङ्कटाद्रिं च साळग्रामं च नैमिशम् ।
तोयाद्रिं पुष्करं चैव नरनारायणाश्रमम् । अष्टौ मे मूर्तयः सन्ति स्वयंव्यक्ता महीतले ॥
- Swayam Vyakta Sthalams (Pushkara is a Swayam Vyakta Kshetra)

कन्याश्रमे च पृष्ठं मे निमिषो भैरवस्तथा । सर्वाणी देवता तत्र कुरुक्षेत्रे च गुल्फतः ॥
स्थाणुर्नाम्ना च सावित्री देवता मणिवेदके । मणिबन्धे च गायत्री सर्वानन्दस्तु भैरवः ॥
- Shakti Peetha Stotram - verses 31 and 32 (Pushkara has the Manivedaka Shakti Peetha where the Manibandha of Devi had fallen)

रुद्रावर्ते कुरुक्षेत्रे पुष्करे श्रीस्थले तथा ।
प्रभासे पंचमे तीर्थे पंच प्राची सरस्वती ॥
- Prachi Saraswati (River Saraswati flowed through Pushkara in ancient times)
