Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 130
दर्शश्च पौर्णमासी च साग्निकैः पूर्वसंयुता । नाग्निहीनैस्तु कर्त्तव्या पुनराह प्रजापतिः
darśaśca paurṇamāsī ca sāgnikaiḥ pūrvasaṃyutā | nāgnihīnaistu karttavyā punarāha prajāpatiḥ
സാഗ്നികര് (അഗ്നിധാരികള്) ദര്ശവും പൗര്ണമാസിയും ‘പൂര്വ’ സംയോഗത്തോടെ ചെയ്യേണ്ടതാണ്; അഗ്നിഹീനര് എന്നാല് ഭിന്നവിധിയില് ചെയ്യണം—ഇങ്ങനെ പ്രജാപതി വീണ്ടും പ്രസ്താവിച്ചു.
Sūta (deduced; citing Prajāpati as authority)
Tirtha: Dvārakā (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Two parallel ritual setups: on one side, a sāgnika with three sacred fires performing Darśa–Paurṇamāsa with ‘pūrva’ connection; on the other, an anagnika performing the adapted rite; Prajāpati is invoked as the authoritative source.
FAQs
Dharma adapts rites to one’s ritual status (with or without sacred fires), but still demands correct timing and method.
Dvārakā is the broader setting; the verse itself is a procedural rule for lunar rites.
Different timing/mode for Darśa–Paurṇamāsī depending on whether one is sāgnika (maintains fires) or agnihīna (does not).
