Skanda Purana — Vishnu Khanda, Shloka 100

Devanagari script

हरिः पूज्यो द्विजाः सम्यक्संतोष्याः शक्तितो नरैः । तेन विष्णोः परा तुष्टिः पापानि विफलानि च । भवंति निर्विषाः सर्पा यथा तार्क्ष्यस्य दर्शनात्

Transliteration

hariḥ pūjyo dvijāḥ samyaksaṃtoṣyāḥ śaktito naraiḥ | tena viṣṇoḥ parā tuṣṭiḥ pāpāni viphalāni ca | bhavaṃti nirviṣāḥ sarpā yathā tārkṣyasya darśanāt

Translation

يجب أن يُعبَد هاري، وعلى الناس—بحسب طاقتهم—أن يُرضوا الدِّوِجَة (البراهمة) إرضاءً لائقًا. بذلك يرضى فيشنو رضًا أسمى، وتغدو الخطايا بلا ثمرة. وكما تصير الحيّات بلا سمّ عند رؤية تاركشيا (غارودا)، كذلك تفقد الخطايا سلطانها.

Devotion to Hari combined with respectful support of the learned (dvijas) removes the efficacy of sin and wins Viṣṇu’s supreme pleasure.

The instruction is embedded in the Ayodhyā Saṅgama Mahātmya, where worship and gifting at the tīrtha are presented as especially potent.

Hari-pūjā (worship of Viṣṇu) and satisfying dvijas through gifts/service according to one’s means.
