Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 11

Devanagari script

दृष्ट्वा गच्छंति ते देवि स्वर्गं धर्मपरायणाः । स्नानं जाप्यं बलिं होमं पूजां स्तोत्रं च नर्तनम् । तस्मिन्स्थाने तु यः कुर्यात्तत्सर्वं चाक्षयं भवेत्

Transliteration

dṛṣṭvā gacchaṃti te devi svargaṃ dharmaparāyaṇāḥ | snānaṃ jāpyaṃ baliṃ homaṃ pūjāṃ stotraṃ ca nartanam | tasminsthāne tu yaḥ kuryāttatsarvaṃ cākṣayaṃ bhavet

Translation

Ô Déesse, après avoir contemplé (cette présence sacrée), ceux qui s’attachent au dharma gagnent le ciel. Bain rituel, japa, offrande (bali), homa, pūjā, hymnes et même danse sacrée : tout ce qui est accompli en ce lieu devient un mérite impérissable.
