Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 79

Devanagari script

तद्देहि भस्म चान्यस्मै केनाप्यर्थो न मेऽण्वपि । प्रसादसुमुखां दृष्टिं विना नान्यद्वृणोमि ते

Transliteration

taddehi bhasma cānyasmai kenāpyartho na me'ṇvapi | prasādasumukhāṃ dṛṣṭiṃ vinā nānyadvṛṇomi te

Translation

એ ભસ્મ બીજાને આપી દો; મને કોઈ પાસેથી પણ અણુમાત્ર લૌકિક લાભની ઇચ્છા નથી. તમારી પ્રસાદભરી સુમુખ દૃષ્ટિ સિવાય હું બીજું કશું માગતો નથી.

FAQs

The highest request is divine grace; a devotee rejects material motives and seeks only the Lord’s/Devi’s favor.

No named tīrtha appears in this verse; it highlights devotional attitude rather than geography.

Sacred ash (bhasma) is referenced, implying śaiva practice, but the verse primarily stresses intention—seeking prasāda over objects.
