Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 29

Devanagari script

न नास्तिकस्य संसर्गं तस्मिंस्तीर्थे नरश्चरेत् । सर्वोपस्करसंयुक्तः श्राद्धार्ह द्रव्यसंयुतः । गच्छेत्तीर्थं साधुसंगी गयां मनसि मानयन्

Transliteration

na nāstikasya saṃsargaṃ tasmiṃstīrthe naraścaret | sarvopaskarasaṃyuktaḥ śrāddhārha dravyasaṃyutaḥ | gacchettīrthaṃ sādhusaṃgī gayāṃ manasi mānayan

Translation

En ce tīrtha, qu’un homme ne fréquente pas l’incrédule. Pourvu de tout le nécessaire et des offrandes dignes du śrāddha, qu’il aille au lieu saint en compagnie des vertueux, portant Gayā dans son cœur avec révérence.

FAQs

Pilgrimage is protected and elevated by good company, faith, and careful preparation for dharmic rites.

The tīrtha(s) within Prabhāsakṣetra are in view, with Gayā invoked as the archetype of śrāddha sanctity.

Carry śrāddha-worthy materials, keep sādhu-saṅga, and avoid association with nāstikas while undertaking the yātrā.
