Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 27
भृग्वाद्याः सनकाद्याश्च नृत्यमानाः प्रहर्षिताः । ब्रह्माणं च नमस्कृत्य सप्तस्वर्गस्थिताः सुराः
bhṛgvādyāḥ sanakādyāśca nṛtyamānāḥ praharṣitāḥ | brahmāṇaṃ ca namaskṛtya saptasvargasthitāḥ surāḥ
ഭൃഗു മുതലായ ഋഷികളും സനകൻ മുതലായ മുനികളും പരമഹർഷത്തോടെ നൃത്തം ചെയ്തുകൊണ്ട് ബ്രഹ്മാവിനെ നമസ്കരിച്ചു. ഏഴ് സ്വർഗങ്ങളിൽ വസിക്കുന്ന ദേവന്മാരും പ്രണാമം അർപ്പിച്ചു.

Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra

FAQs
Even the highest beings—gods and great seers—express reverence and joy when encountering sacred dharma-centered presence, modeling humility and devotion.
The broader Dvārakā Māhātmya context frames this as part of the glorification of Dvārakā, though this verse itself highlights the celestial assembly rather than a single tīrtha.
No explicit rite is prescribed here; the devotional act shown is namaskāra (salutation) to Brahmā.
