Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 130
दर्शश्च पौर्णमासी च साग्निकैः पूर्वसंयुता । नाग्निहीनैस्तु कर्त्तव्या पुनराह प्रजापतिः
darśaśca paurṇamāsī ca sāgnikaiḥ pūrvasaṃyutā | nāgnihīnaistu karttavyā punarāha prajāpatiḥ
Für jene, die die heiligen Feuer bewahren, sind die Darśa- und Paurṇamāsī-Riten in Verbindung mit der früheren Zeit (pūrva) zusammen mit dem Feuer zu vollziehen; für jene jedoch ohne Feuer sind sie in anderer Weise zu verrichten—so hat Prajāpati es abermals verkündet.
Sūta (deduced; citing Prajāpati as authority)
Tirtha: Dvārakā (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Two parallel ritual setups: on one side, a sāgnika with three sacred fires performing Darśa–Paurṇamāsa with ‘pūrva’ connection; on the other, an anagnika performing the adapted rite; Prajāpati is invoked as the authoritative source.
FAQs
Dharma adapts rites to one’s ritual status (with or without sacred fires), but still demands correct timing and method.
Dvārakā is the broader setting; the verse itself is a procedural rule for lunar rites.
Different timing/mode for Darśa–Paurṇamāsī depending on whether one is sāgnika (maintains fires) or agnihīna (does not).
