Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 17
चातुर्मास्ये विशेषेण दर्शनादपि मुक्तिदम् । यस्मिन्स्तुते स्तुतं सर्वं पूजिते पूजितं जगत्
cāturmāsye viśeṣeṇa darśanādapi muktidam | yasminstute stutaṃ sarvaṃ pūjite pūjitaṃ jagat
চাতুৰ্মাস্যত বিশেষকৈ তেওঁৰ দৰ্শন মাত্ৰেও মুক্তিদায়ক। কিয়নো যেতিয়া তেওঁক স্তৱ কৰা হয় তেতিয়া সকলোকে স্তৱ কৰা হয়; যেতিয়া তেওঁক পূজা কৰা হয় তেতিয়া সমগ্ৰ জগত পূজিত হয়।
Unknown (Nāgarakhaṇḍa narrative voice; likely a Purāṇic teacher)
Scene: A pilgrim receives mere darśana of Viṣṇu/Śālagrāma during Cāturmāsya; the deity’s aura expands into a subtle viśvarūpa, suggesting that worship reaches the whole cosmos.
FAQs
The Divine is the all-in-all; devotion to the Supreme is devotion that encompasses the entire cosmos, especially potent in Cāturmāsya.
No single location is specified in this verse; the focus is the sacred time (Cāturmāsya) and the power of darśana.
Seek darśana, offer praise (stuti), and perform worship (pūjā), particularly during Cāturmāsya.
