Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 44
एवं प्रबोधितस्तेन शंभुना परमेष्ठिना । विवेकपरमो भूत्वा शैलादो हि महातपाः । शिवेन सह संगम्य परमानंदसंप्लुतः
evaṃ prabodhitastena śaṃbhunā parameṣṭhinā | vivekaparamo bhūtvā śailādo hi mahātapāḥ | śivena saha saṃgamya paramānaṃdasaṃplutaḥ
ដូច្នេះ ព្រះសម្ភូ ព្រះអម្ចាស់ដ៏អធិបតី បានបណ្តុះបណ្តាលគាត់។ ព្រះសៃលាទៈ អ្នកតបសធំ បានក្លាយជាអ្នកមានវិវេកលើសគេ; ហើយពេលបានជួបព្រះសិវៈ គាត់ត្រូវបានលិចលង់ក្នុងអានន្ទដ៏អតិបរមា។

FAQs
Śiva’s instruction awakens discernment (viveka), and communion with Śiva culminates in supreme bliss (paramānanda).
Kedāra-kṣetra is the overarching frame; the verse supports the Mahātmya by showing the transformative power of Śiva’s presence.
None explicitly; the implied practice is receiving instruction and attaining sāttvika discernment through proximity to Śiva.
