Skanda Purana — Vishnu Khanda, Shloka 58
कः क्रमस्तीर्थयात्रायाः कानि तीर्थानि को विधिः । कि फलं स्नानतस्तत्र दानस्य च महामुने । एतत्सर्वं समाचक्ष्व विस्तराद्वदतां वर
kaḥ kramastīrthayātrāyāḥ kāni tīrthāni ko vidhiḥ | ki phalaṃ snānatastatra dānasya ca mahāmune | etatsarvaṃ samācakṣva vistarādvadatāṃ vara
聖地巡礼の正しい順序はいかなるものか。いかなるティールタがあり、作法はいかに。そこでの沐浴と、布施（ダーナ）とは、いかなる果報をもたらすのか、大聖仙よ。語りの最勝者よ、これら一切を余すところなく、詳しく説き明かしてください。

FAQs
Pilgrimage becomes truly fruitful when done with right order (krama), right method (vidhi), and dharmic acts like bathing and charity.
The tīrthas of Ayodhyā are being requested for description; the chapter centers on Ayodhyā’s sacred circuit.
