Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 33
वृक उवाच । यदि तुष्टोऽसि मे देव यदि देयो वरो मम । पाददानं तदा देव मम ब्रह्मन्समाचर । पंगुता याति शीघ्रं मे येनेयं ते प्रसादतः
vṛka uvāca | yadi tuṣṭo'si me deva yadi deyo varo mama | pādadānaṃ tadā deva mama brahmansamācara | paṃgutā yāti śīghraṃ me yeneyaṃ te prasādataḥ
ヴリカは言った。「もし私に御満悦くださり、また願いを授け給うなら――主よ、梵天よ、どうか私に『足の施し』を行い（健やかな足を授け）、あなたの御恩寵によってこの跛（びっこ）が速やかに去りますように。」
Vṛka
Type: kund
Scene: Vṛka, visibly lame, pleads with folded hands before Brahmā; emphasis on feet—either bound, weakened, or supported—contrasted with Brahmā’s compassionate gaze and varada gesture.
FAQs

A boon framed as 'pāda-dāna' (granting/restoring feet) is requested; it is not a standard public ritual here but a divine act of bestowal.
