Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 79
वालिशेष्वसहायेषु भवेद्भाग्यं सहायकृत् । अरण्यान्यां रणे गेहे ततो भाग्यं हि कारणम्
vāliśeṣvasahāyeṣu bhavedbhāgyaṃ sahāyakṛt | araṇyānyāṃ raṇe gehe tato bhāgyaṃ hi kāraṇam
Ketika seseorang hanya tersisa sedikit dan sama sekali tanpa penolong, maka bhāgya (nasib suci) itulah yang menjadi penolong. Baik di rimba, di medan perang, maupun di dalam rumah sendiri—di sanalah bhāgya menjadi sebab yang menentukan.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa typically Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A lone traveler with torn garments and a small bundle stands at a crossroads: one path to a dark forest, one to a battlefield with distant banners, one to a household doorway—above, an unseen hand of ‘Bhāgya’ guides like a protective presence.
FAQs
In crisis—whether external or domestic—Daiva/Bhāgya can become the unseen support; humility and dharmic steadiness are implied.
The verse is a general dharmic maxim within the Kāśī narrative context; it does not name a specific tīrtha in this line.
None explicitly; it is a doctrinal statement about causality (bhāgya/daiva).
