Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 115

Devanagari script

शिवप्रसादात्सकलं द्वैताद्वैतमवाप ह । द्वैताद्वैतविवेकार्थमृपयोप्यत्र मोहिताः । तत्सर्वं प्राप्नुवंतीह शिवार्चनरता नराः

Transliteration

śivaprasādātsakalaṃ dvaitādvaitamavāpa ha | dvaitādvaitavivekārthamṛpayopyatra mohitāḥ | tatsarvaṃ prāpnuvaṃtīha śivārcanaratā narāḥ

Translation

Durch Śivas Gnade erlangt man die ganze Schau von Dualität und Nicht-Dualität. Um Dualität und Nicht-Dualität zu unterscheiden, werden selbst die Weisen hier verwirrt. Doch all dies wird hier von Menschen erreicht, die der Verehrung Śivas hingegeben sind.

Śiva’s grace grants both devotion and realization—transcending philosophical extremes through lived worship.

The verse says “here” (atra/iha) within Kedāra-khaṇḍa—glorifying Kedāra-kṣetra as a powerful field of realization.
