Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 4
मुक्तिं नेच्छंति यत्रस्थाः कृष्णसेवोत्सुकाः सदा । यत्रत्याश्चैव पाषाणा यत्र क्वापि विमुक्तिदाः
muktiṃ necchaṃti yatrasthāḥ kṛṣṇasevotsukāḥ sadā | yatratyāścaiva pāṣāṇā yatra kvāpi vimuktidāḥ
সেই পবিত্র স্থানে অবস্থানকারী, যাঁরা সদা কৃষ্ণসেবায় উৎসুক, তাঁরা মুক্তিও কামনা করেন না। সেখানে যে পাথরই থাকুক, যেখানেই হোক, তা-ও মোক্ষদাতা হয়ে ওঠে।
Prahlāda (continued)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Scene: A pilgrim in Dvārakā bows even to the stones of the sacred lanes, seeing them as radiant with Kṛṣṇa’s presence; devotees engaged in continuous service, unconcerned with liberation.
