Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 135

Devanagari script

धन्यं यशस्यं नियतं सुपुण्यं स्वर्मोक्षदं पापहरं नराणाम् । शृणोति नित्यं नियतः शुचिः पुमान्भित्त्वा रविं विष्णु पदं प्रयाति

Transliteration

dhanyaṃ yaśasyaṃ niyataṃ supuṇyaṃ svarmokṣadaṃ pāpaharaṃ narāṇām | śṛṇoti nityaṃ niyataḥ śuciḥ pumānbhittvā raviṃ viṣṇu padaṃ prayāti

Translation

Es ist segensreich, ruhmverleihend, gewiss und überaus verdienstvoll: Es schenkt Himmel und Befreiung (mokṣa) und nimmt den Menschen die Sünden. Wer diszipliniert und rein ist und es täglich hört, überschreitet die Sonne und gelangt zur höchsten Wohnstatt Viṣṇus.

FAQs

Regular devotional listening, combined with purity and discipline, is portrayed as a direct path to liberation.

The benefits are tied to the Koṭitīrtha māhātmya being recited in this chapter.

Nitya-śravaṇa—hearing the sacred māhātmya daily, while remaining śuci (pure) and niyata (disciplined).
