Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 51
कलौ न शक्यते गंतुं विना कृष्णप्रसादतः । कृष्णस्य दर्शनं कर्तुं यान्ति रुद्रादयः सुराः
kalau na śakyate gaṃtuṃ vinā kṛṣṇaprasādataḥ | kṛṣṇasya darśanaṃ kartuṃ yānti rudrādayaḥ surāḥ
En l’âge de Kali, nul ne peut s’y rendre sans la grâce de Kṛṣṇa. Même les dieux—Rudra et les autres—viennent pour contempler Kṛṣṇa.
Sūta (deduced from Prabhāsa-khaṇḍa māhātmya narration context)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Scene: A pilgrim’s aspiration is framed by cosmic validation: Rudra and other devas arrive at Dvārakā to behold Kṛṣṇa; the path is shown as opening only by Kṛṣṇa’s grace—like a gate of light over the sea.
