Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 130
दर्शश्च पौर्णमासी च साग्निकैः पूर्वसंयुता । नाग्निहीनैस्तु कर्त्तव्या पुनराह प्रजापतिः
darśaśca paurṇamāsī ca sāgnikaiḥ pūrvasaṃyutā | nāgnihīnaistu karttavyā punarāha prajāpatiḥ
For those who maintain the sacred fires, the Darśa and Paurṇamāsī rites are to be performed in accord with the earlier (pūrva) timing, together with the fire; but for those without fires, they are to be performed in another manner—thus Prajāpati again declared.
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).
