Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 113

Devanagari script

दृष्टमात्राः पुनंत्येते तस्मा त्पश्येद्धि भावितः । अग्नितीर्थे नरः स्नात्वा पावके प्रक्षिपेत्ततः । गुग्गुलं भारसहितं सोग्निलोके महीयते

Transliteration

dṛṣṭamātrāḥ punaṃtyete tasmā tpaśyeddhi bhāvitaḥ | agnitīrthe naraḥ snātvā pāvake prakṣipettataḥ | guggulaṃ bhārasahitaṃ sogniloke mahīyate

Translation

Ceux-ci purifient par le seul fait d’être vus ; aussi faut-il les contempler avec un esprit de dévotion. Après s’être baigné à Agnitīrtha, l’homme doit jeter du guggulu (encens) dans le feu sacré, avec la juste mesure ; il est honoré dans le monde d’Agni.
