Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 28

Devanagari script

मातृतः पितृतश्चैव लक्षकोटिकुलान्वितः । संप्राप्य विष्णुभवनं तत्रैव परिमुच्यते । कल्पत्रयं शंभुपदे स्थित्वा तत्रैव मुच्यते

Transliteration

mātṛtaḥ pitṛtaścaiva lakṣakoṭikulānvitaḥ | saṃprāpya viṣṇubhavanaṃ tatraiva parimucyate | kalpatrayaṃ śaṃbhupade sthitvā tatraiva mucyate

Translation

Par la lignée maternelle comme par la paternelle—avec des lakhs et des crores de proches—on parvient au séjour de Viṣṇu et l’on y est délivré. Après avoir demeuré dans l’état de Śambhu durant trois kalpas, on y est encore libéré.
