Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 29

Devanagari script

चातुर्मास्ये विशेषेण जन्मकष्टादिनाशनम् । हरिरेव व्रताद्ग्राह्यो व्रतं देहेन कारयेत् । देहोऽयं तपसा शोध्यः सुप्ते देवे तपोनिधौ

Transliteration

cāturmāsye viśeṣeṇa janmakaṣṭādināśanam | harireva vratādgrāhyo vrataṃ dehena kārayet | deho'yaṃ tapasā śodhyaḥ supte deve taponidhau

Translation

Dans le Cāturmāsya, tout particulièrement, cette observance détruit les peines de la naissance et autres semblables. Hari (Viṣṇu) seul doit être le but du vœu ; que le vœu soit accompli par le corps. Ce corps doit être purifié par le tapas, tandis que le Seigneur—trésor d’austérité—demeure en sommeil yogique.

FAQs

Cāturmāsya is a powerful spiritual window: dedicate the vow to Hari, purify the body through tapas, and thereby cut down the pains bound up with repeated birth.

This verse focuses on the season and its discipline rather than naming a particular tīrtha, though it appears within a Tīrthamāhātmya chapter.

Perform Cāturmāsya-vrata with embodied austerity (tapas), explicitly dedicating the observance to Hari as its intended fruit and focus.
