Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 116

Devanagari script

अत्र स्नाता नरा विप्रा मोक्षभाजो न संशयः । कीर्तयेदिममध्यायं शृणुयाद्वा समाहितः । चक्र तीर्थाभिषेकस्य प्राप्नोति फलमुत्तमम् । इह लोके सुखं प्राप्य परत्रापिसुखं लभेत्

Transliteration

atra snātā narā viprā mokṣabhājo na saṃśayaḥ | kīrtayedimamadhyāyaṃ śṛṇuyādvā samāhitaḥ | cakra tīrthābhiṣekasya prāpnoti phalamuttamam | iha loke sukhaṃ prāpya paratrāpisukhaṃ labhet

Translation

Les hommes qui se baignent ici, ô brāhmanes, deviennent dignes de mokṣa, sans aucun doute. Celui qui récite ce chapitre, ou l’écoute l’esprit recueilli, obtient le fruit suprême du bain à Cakratīrtha. Ayant obtenu le bonheur en ce monde, il obtient aussi le bonheur dans l’au-delà.
