Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 11
अथ प्रतिदिनं श्रोतुमशक्तो यदि मानवः । पुण्यमासेषु वा पुण्ये दिने पुण्यतिथिष्वपि
atha pratidinaṃ śrotumaśakto yadi mānavaḥ | puṇyamāseṣu vā puṇye dine puṇyatithiṣvapi
आणि जर कोणी प्रतिदिन ऐकू शकत नसेल, तर पुण्य मासांत, किंवा शुभ दिवशी, तसेच पुण्य तिथींनाही श्रवण करावे.

FAQs
When daily practice is not feasible, align spiritual listening with auspicious times to sustain merit and devotion.

Hear the kathā during holy months, auspicious days, or auspicious tithis if daily listening is not possible.
