Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 60
तस्माच्छ्रद्धैव सर्वेषु विधेया पुण्यकर्मसु । नीचोपि शबरः प्राप श्रद्धया योगिनां गतिम्
tasmācchraddhaiva sarveṣu vidheyā puṇyakarmasu | nīcopi śabaraḥ prāpa śraddhayā yogināṃ gatim
Por ello, sólo la fe (śraddhā) debe quedar firmemente establecida en todas las obras meritorias; pues aun un Śabara de humilde cuna alcanzó, por la fe, el estado excelso al que llegan los yoguis.
Unspecified in snippet (narrative instruction within Brahmottarakhaṇḍa)
Scene: A humble Śabara devotee, hands folded in śraddhā, is shown receiving an inner radiance or yogic ascent, while ritual implements (water pot, flowers) indicate meritorious acts sanctified by faith rather than status.
FAQs

No particular tīrtha is named in this verse; the emphasis is on inner qualification (śraddhā) rather than location.
A general prescription: establish śraddhā in all puṇya-karmas (virtuous and religious acts); no single rite is specified.
