Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 3

Devanagari script

पटस्थितं तस्य पापं चित्रो मार्जयति प्रिये । तस्मात्सर्वप्रयत्नेन चित्रेशं पूजयेत्सदा । यः स्यात्पापयुतो वापि नरकं नैव पश्यति

Transliteration

paṭasthitaṃ tasya pāpaṃ citro mārjayati priye | tasmātsarvaprayatnena citreśaṃ pūjayetsadā | yaḥ syātpāpayuto vāpi narakaṃ naiva paśyati

Translation

O Geliebte, Citra wischt seine Sünde hinweg, als wäre sie nur auf ein Tuch gemalt. Darum soll man mit allem Eifer Citreśa stets verehren. Selbst wer von Sünde beladen ist, erblickt die Hölle nicht.
