Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 35

Devanagari script

न तेऽपराद्धं यदि तेऽपराद्धमस्माभिरुन्मार्गविवर्तिनीभिः । तत्क्षम्यतां सृष्टिकृतस्तवैव देवापराधः सृजतो विवेकम्

Transliteration

na te'parāddhaṃ yadi te'parāddhamasmābhirunmārgavivartinībhiḥ | tatkṣamyatāṃ sṛṣṭikṛtastavaiva devāparādhaḥ sṛjato vivekam

Translation

Si nulle offense ne peut vraiment T’atteindre, et pourtant si une offense a été commise contre Toi par nous qui avons dévié vers de mauvais chemins, qu’elle soit pardonnée. Ô Créateur du monde, même cette « offense » est liée au discernement que Tu accordes dans la création.

FAQs

Atonement is paired with responsibility: the devotee admits wrongdoing, seeks pardon, and prays for right discernment (viveka).

The Revā/Narmadā tīrtha milieu underlies the prayer, where purification and moral correction are central themes.

No specific rite is prescribed; the focus is inner correction—confession, forgiveness-seeking, and cultivation of viveka.
