Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 36
चातुर्मास्ये नरो नित्यं चांद्राय णव्रतं चरेत् । एकैकमासे तत्पुण्यं वर्णितुं नैव शक्यते
cāturmāsye naro nityaṃ cāṃdrāya ṇavrataṃ caret | ekaikamāse tatpuṇyaṃ varṇituṃ naiva śakyate
Während des Cāturmāsya soll der Mensch regelmäßig das Cāndrāyaṇa-Gelübde üben. Das Verdienst, das in jedem einzelnen Monat erwächst, ist wahrlich nicht zu beschreiben.
Skanda (deduced from Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narrative style)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee marks lunar phases on a palm-leaf calendar, offering arghya at moonrise; the moon above mirrors the measured intake, while Viṣṇu’s presence sanctifies the vow.
