Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 4

Devanagari script

ऋषितोयासंगमे तु स्नानं श्राद्धं सुदुर्लभम् । गोप्रदानं प्रशंसंति तत्र ते मुनिपुगवाः । भोजनं ब्राह्मणानां तु यथाशक्त्या प्रदापयेत्

Transliteration

ṛṣitoyāsaṃgame tu snānaṃ śrāddhaṃ sudurlabham | gopradānaṃ praśaṃsaṃti tatra te munipugavāḥ | bhojanaṃ brāhmaṇānāṃ tu yathāśaktyā pradāpayet

Translation

ഋഷിതോയാ-സംഗമത്തിൽ സ്നാനവും ശ്രാദ്ധവും അത്യന്തം ദുർലഭമായ മഹാഫലം നൽകുന്നു. അവിടെ മുനിശ്രേഷ്ഠർ ഗോദാനത്തെ പ്രശംസിക്കുന്നു; കൂടാതെ യഥാശക്തി ബ്രാഹ്മണർക്കു ഭോജനം നൽകണം.

FAQs

At powerful tīrthas, dharma expresses itself through both ritual purity (snāna, śrāddha) and compassionate giving (go-dāna, feeding Brāhmaṇas).

Ṛṣitoyā-saṅgama, a sacred confluence within the Prabhāsa Kṣetra cycle of tīrthas.

Snāna and śrāddha at the saṅgama, along with go-pradāna (cow donation) and brāhmaṇa-bhojana (feeding Brāhmaṇas) as one is able.
