Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 59

Devanagari script

स्पृशेन्नापि यदा मंदस्तदा द्रक्ष्यति तृप्तये । एवं श्राद्धं विधायाथ स्पृष्ट्वा चंद्रेश्वरं व्रती । संतर्प्य विप्रांश्च यतीन्कुर्याद्वै पारणं ततः

Transliteration

spṛśennāpi yadā maṃdastadā drakṣyati tṛptaye | evaṃ śrāddhaṃ vidhāyātha spṛṣṭvā caṃdreśvaraṃ vratī | saṃtarpya viprāṃśca yatīnkuryādvai pāraṇaṃ tataḥ

Translation

たとえ鈍き心の者がそれに触れずとも、ただ拝観するだけで満足が得られる。かくしてシュラーダ（śrāddha）を修し、ついでチャンドレーシュヴァラ（Candreśvara）に触礼したなら、誓戒を守る者は—ブラーフマナと苦行の行者（ヤティ）を供養し満たした後—法にかなってパーラナ（pāraṇa）、すなわち断食を解くべきである。

FAQs

Kāśī pilgrimage is completed by a full dharmic arc: śrāddha, Śiva-contact, hospitality to the holy, and then mindful completion of the vow.

Candroda-tīrtha (by context) and Candreśvara in Kāśī.

After śrāddha, touch (and/or behold) the sacred site, touch Candreśvara, feed brāhmaṇas and ascetics, and then perform pāraṇa (break the fast).
