स्कंद उवाच । अन्यच्च शृणु विप्रेंद्र वृत्तातं तत्र संभवम् । महाश्चर्यप्रजननं महापातकहारि च
skaṃda uvāca | anyacca śṛṇu vipreṃdra vṛttātaṃ tatra saṃbhavam | mahāścaryaprajananaṃ mahāpātakahāri ca
स्कंद म्हणाले—हे विप्रेंद्र! तेथे घडलेला आणखी एक वृत्तान्त ऐक; जो महान् आश्चर्य उत्पन्न करणारा आणि महापातकांचा नाश करणारा आहे।

Kāśī’s sacred narratives are framed as spiritually efficacious—capable of dissolving even major sins and awakening awe toward dharma.
The phrase ‘there’ refers back to the Kāśī setting established in the preceding adhyāya; the episode continues Kāśī’s māhātmya.
Listening (śravaṇa) to the account is the implied practice; no separate vow or bath is specified here.
