Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 126

Devanagari script

सारूप्यसालोक्यमयीं मय्यावेशितचेतसाम् । सायुज्यमुक्तये नायं योगः पाशुपतो यतः । स्मृत्याचारेण मुनिभिः स सद्भिस्तेन गर्हितः

Transliteration

sārūpyasālokyamayīṃ mayyāveśitacetasām | sāyujyamuktaye nāyaṃ yogaḥ pāśupato yataḥ | smṛtyācāreṇa munibhiḥ sa sadbhistena garhitaḥ

Translation

Für jene, deren Geist in Mir versenkt ist, bringt dieser Weg Vollkommenheiten wie sārūpya und sālokya hervor; doch ist der Pāśupata-Yoga kein Mittel zur sāyujya-Befreiung. Da er dem durch smṛti gebotenen Wandel widerspricht, wird er von Weisen und Tugendhaften getadelt.

FAQs

Not all spiritual disciplines culminate in the same liberation; orthodox conduct and inner absorption determine the highest result.

Prabhāsakṣetra, where nuanced teachings on types of mukti and proper conduct are embedded within the kṣetra-māhātmya.

An evaluative rule: practices should align with smṛti-ācāra; Pāśupata discipline is acknowledged but not presented as granting sāyujya.
