Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 35

Devanagari script

न तेऽपराद्धं यदि तेऽपराद्धमस्माभिरुन्मार्गविवर्तिनीभिः । तत्क्षम्यतां सृष्टिकृतस्तवैव देवापराधः सृजतो विवेकम्

Transliteration

na te'parāddhaṃ yadi te'parāddhamasmābhirunmārgavivartinībhiḥ | tatkṣamyatāṃ sṛṣṭikṛtastavaiva devāparādhaḥ sṛjato vivekam

Translation

Wenn Dich wahrhaft keine Verfehlung berühren kann, und doch, wenn von uns, die wir auf Irrwege geraten sind, eine Verfehlung gegen Dich begangen wurde—so möge sie vergeben sein. O Schöpfer der Welt, selbst diese „Verfehlung“ ist mit der Unterscheidungskraft verbunden, die Du in der Schöpfung verleihst.

FAQs

Atonement is paired with responsibility: the devotee admits wrongdoing, seeks pardon, and prays for right discernment (viveka).

The Revā/Narmadā tīrtha milieu underlies the prayer, where purification and moral correction are central themes.

No specific rite is prescribed; the focus is inner correction—confession, forgiveness-seeking, and cultivation of viveka.
