Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 107
पुत्रपौत्रान्प्रदास्यामि स्वर्गं मोक्षं न संशयः । प्रवेशे च कलेः काले भवतां वंशसंभवः । वत्सराजः पांडवानां तोषयिष्यति यत्नतः
putrapautrānpradāsyāmi svargaṃ mokṣaṃ na saṃśayaḥ | praveśe ca kaleḥ kāle bhavatāṃ vaṃśasaṃbhavaḥ | vatsarājaḥ pāṃḍavānāṃ toṣayiṣyati yatnataḥ
Je vous accorderai des fils et des petits-fils—ainsi que le ciel et la délivrance, sans aucun doute. Et lorsque viendra l’entrée de l’âge de Kali, un être né de votre lignée, le roi Vatsarāja, s’appliquera avec soin à honorer et satisfaire les Pāṇḍava.

FAQs

The benefits are tied to the Devī’s Dharmāraṇya abode and the Mahīsāgara tīrtha context of the chapter.
The verse mainly states rewards (phalaśruti); the associated practice is Devī worship as described in the surrounding verses.
