Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 39
स हि सर्वप्रदः शंभुर्याचितश्चोपमन्युना । पयोमात्रं ददौ तस्मै सर्वं क्षीराब्धिमेव च
sa hi sarvapradaḥ śaṃbhuryācitaścopamanyunā | payomātraṃ dadau tasmai sarvaṃ kṣīrābdhimeva ca
For Śambhu is the giver of all. When requested by Upamanyu, He granted him mere milk—and thereby, indeed, the entire Ocean of Milk itself.

FAQs
Śiva’s generosity exceeds the devotee’s request; even small petitions can open into immeasurable grace.
Not a specific tīrtha by name in this verse; it supports the Kāśī-māhātmya theme by praising Śambhu/Viśveśvara’s boundless giving.
None explicitly; the focus is on prayer/request (yācñā) and the Lord’s response.
