Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 29

Devanagari script

न नास्तिकस्य संसर्गं तस्मिंस्तीर्थे नरश्चरेत् । सर्वोपस्करसंयुक्तः श्राद्धार्ह द्रव्यसंयुतः । गच्छेत्तीर्थं साधुसंगी गयां मनसि मानयन्

Transliteration

na nāstikasya saṃsargaṃ tasmiṃstīrthe naraścaret | sarvopaskarasaṃyuktaḥ śrāddhārha dravyasaṃyutaḥ | gacchettīrthaṃ sādhusaṃgī gayāṃ manasi mānayan

Translation

そのティールタにおいては、人は不信の者と交わるべきではない。必要な品々をすべて整え、シュラーダ（祖霊供養）にふさわしい供物を携え、善き人々と共に聖地へ赴き、ガヤーを心中に敬って念ずべきである。

FAQs

Pilgrimage is protected and elevated by good company, faith, and careful preparation for dharmic rites.

The tīrtha(s) within Prabhāsakṣetra are in view, with Gayā invoked as the archetype of śrāddha sanctity.

Carry śrāddha-worthy materials, keep sādhu-saṅga, and avoid association with nāstikas while undertaking the yātrā.
