Skanda Purana — Vishnu Khanda, Shloka 15
ऋषय ऊचुः । त्वत्तः श्रुता महाभाग नानातीर्थाश्रिताः कथाः । सरहस्यानि सर्वाणि पुराणानि महामते
ṛṣaya ūcuḥ | tvattaḥ śrutā mahābhāga nānātīrthāśritāḥ kathāḥ | sarahasyāni sarvāṇi purāṇāni mahāmate
The sages said: “O blessed one, from you we have heard accounts connected with many sacred tīrthas, and all the Purāṇas together with their inner, secret meanings, O great-minded one.”
Ṛṣis (sages)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā (contextual, about to be requested)
Type: kshetra

FAQs
Tīrtha traditions are preserved through attentive listening to qualified narrators who convey both story and spiritual import (rahasya).
Many tīrthas are referenced generally; the dialogue is transitioning toward Ayodhyā’s specific māhātmya.
None explicitly; it emphasizes śravaṇa (hearing) as the gateway to understanding tīrtha-glories.
