Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 107
पुत्रपौत्रान्प्रदास्यामि स्वर्गं मोक्षं न संशयः । प्रवेशे च कलेः काले भवतां वंशसंभवः । वत्सराजः पांडवानां तोषयिष्यति यत्नतः
putrapautrānpradāsyāmi svargaṃ mokṣaṃ na saṃśayaḥ | praveśe ca kaleḥ kāle bhavatāṃ vaṃśasaṃbhavaḥ | vatsarājaḥ pāṃḍavānāṃ toṣayiṣyati yatnataḥ
I shall grant sons and grandsons—also heaven and liberation, without doubt. And when the time of Kali’s onset arrives, one born in your lineage, King Vatsarāja, will diligently honour and satisfy the Pāṇḍavas.
Devī
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya–Mahīsāgara kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Bhārata/Pāṇḍava addressee and general audience

FAQs

The benefits are tied to the Devī’s Dharmāraṇya abode and the Mahīsāgara tīrtha context of the chapter.
The verse mainly states rewards (phalaśruti); the associated practice is Devī worship as described in the surrounding verses.
