Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 7

Devanagari script

चन्द्रतीर्थे नरः स्नात्वा संतर्प्य पितृदेवताः । इन्द्रेश्वरं च संपूज्य मुच्यते नात्र संशयः

Transliteration

candratīrthe naraḥ snātvā saṃtarpya pitṛdevatāḥ | indreśvaraṃ ca saṃpūjya mucyate nātra saṃśayaḥ

Translation

ചന്ദ്രതീർത്ഥത്തിൽ സ്നാനം ചെയ്ത് പിതൃദേവതകൾക്കും ദേവന്മാർക്കും തർപ്പണം അർപ്പിച്ച്, ഇന്ദ്രേശ്വരനെ വിധിപൂർവ്വം പൂജിക്കുന്നവൻ—നിശ്ചയമായും പാപബന്ധനത്തിൽ നിന്ന് മോചിതനാകും; ഇതിൽ സംശയമില്ല.
