Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 4
युधिष्ठिर उवाच । पाराशर्य समाख्याहि सदाचारं च मे प्रभो । आचाराद्धर्ममाप्नोति आचाराल्लभते फलम् । आचाराच्छ्रियमाप्नोति तदाचारं वदस्व मे
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | pārāśarya samākhyāhi sadācāraṃ ca me prabho | ācārāddharmamāpnoti ācārāllabhate phalam | ācārācchriyamāpnoti tadācāraṃ vadasva me
युधिष्ठिर ने कहा - हे पराशरनन्दन प्रभो! मुझे सदाचार का वर्णन कीजिए। आचार से ही धर्म की प्राप्ति होती है, आचार से ही फल मिलता है और आचार से ही लक्ष्मी प्राप्त होती है; अतः मुझे उस आचार के विषय में बताइये।

FAQs
Dharma is grounded in daily conduct; ethical discipline is the doorway to merit and well-being.
The focus is ethical instruction within Dharmāraṇya’s māhātmya setting rather than a single named tirtha.
No specific rite; the request is for teachings on sadācāra (normative dharmic conduct).
