Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 5
एतदेव पुरा पृष्टः पार्वत्या परमेश्वरः । यद्भवद्भिरहं पृष्टस्तीर्थयात्राकृते द्विजाः
etadeva purā pṛṣṭaḥ pārvatyā parameśvaraḥ | yadbhavadbhirahaṃ pṛṣṭastīrthayātrākṛte dvijāḥ
এই কথাই পূৰ্বতে পাৰ্বতীয়ে পৰমেশ্বৰক সুধিছিল; যেনেকৈ এতিয়া তোমালোক দ্বিজসকলে তীৰ্থযাত্ৰাৰ বিষয়ে মোক সুধিছা।
Sūta
Listener: dvija-s / sages
Scene: A storyteller/narrator turns to sages and says: ‘This was once asked by Pārvatī to Parameśvara’; the scene shifts like a flashback toward Kailāsa.
FAQs

No specific tīrtha yet; the verse introduces Śiva–Pārvatī discourse as the source for tīrtha knowledge.
Tīrtha-yātrā (pilgrimage) is the stated concern; no particular rite is detailed in this verse.
