Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 63
तेषु जन्मसहस्रेषु यानि पुण्यानि संति ते । तेषामाधिक्यतः क्वापि जायते पुण्ययोनिषु
teṣu janmasahasreṣu yāni puṇyāni saṃti te | teṣāmādhikyataḥ kvāpi jāyate puṇyayoniṣu
সেই সহস্ৰ জন্মসমূহত তোমাৰ যিমান পুণ্য আছে, সেয়া যেতিয়া ক’তবাত অধিক প্ৰবল হয়, তেতিয়া জীৱে ক’তবাত শুভ পুণ্যযোনিত জন্ম লাভ কৰে।
Śrī Guru (continuing instruction)
Listener: Rājan
Scene: The guru illustrates a ‘scale’ of karma: bright, auspicious imagery (lotus, lamp, sacred thread, temple silhouette) rises when puṇya outweighs pāpa; the disciple’s face shows relief and resolve.
