Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 41

Devanagari script

सर्वमेतदवाप्नोति स कोपि यदिवा न वा । किंचित्केनापि हि न्यूनं संसारः कुरुते नरम्

Transliteration

sarvametadavāpnoti sa kopi yadivā na vā | kiṃcitkenāpi hi nyūnaṃ saṃsāraḥ kurute naram

Translation

سواء نال المرء كلَّ هذا أو لم ينل شيئًا، فإن السَّمسارة (دورة التناسخ) تجعل الإنسان ناقصًا من وجهٍ ما. فالحياة الدنيوية تترك دائمًا وراءها عجزًا ونقصًا.

FAQs

Worldly life (saṃsāra) cannot fully satisfy; even after gains, some lack remains—prompting dispassion (vairāgya) and a turn toward liberation-oriented dharma.

No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; it functions as a general purāṇic teaching on saṃsāra rather than a direct sthala-māhātmya passage.

None is explicitly stated in this verse (no direct mention of snāna, dāna, japa, vrata, or tīrtha-yātrā).
