Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 48
तस्मात्सर्वं तवाख्यानं कथयामि महामुने । येन मे गर्हितं भोज्यं विभवश्च तथेदृशः
tasmātsarvaṃ tavākhyānaṃ kathayāmi mahāmune | yena me garhitaṃ bhojyaṃ vibhavaśca tathedṛśaḥ
इसलिए, हे महामुनि, मैं आपको पूरा वृत्तान्त कहता हूँ—जिससे मेरा भोजन निन्दित हो गया और मुझे ऐसा अद्भुत वैभव कैसे प्राप्त हुआ।
Vaimānika
Listener: Mahāmuni (a great sage)
Scene: An aged, chastened former king sits before a great sage in an āśrama, hands folded, beginning a full confession; behind him, faint motifs of royal insignia now set aside.
FAQs
Admitting fault and explaining causes before a sage is part of purification; dharma is clarified through truthful narration and accountability.
The scene remains within a tīrtha setting near sacred waters; the verse prepares the tīrtha-linked backstory rather than naming the site.
No formal ritual; it implies confession/truthful disclosure before a sage as a dharmic corrective.
