Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 10
कृष्णार्चने च यत्पुण्यं यत्पुण्यं लिंग पूजने । तत्फलं कोटिगुणितं सदा वै ब्रह्मदर्शनात् । भविष्यति न सन्देहो विशेषात्सर्वपर्वसु
kṛṣṇārcane ca yatpuṇyaṃ yatpuṇyaṃ liṃga pūjane | tatphalaṃ koṭiguṇitaṃ sadā vai brahmadarśanāt | bhaviṣyati na sandeho viśeṣātsarvaparvasu
कृष्णार्चनाने व लिंगपूजने जे पुण्य मिळते, ब्रह्मदर्शनमात्राने त्याचे फळ सदैव कोटीगुणित होते—यात संशय नाही; विशेषतः सर्व पर्वकाळी.

Tirtha: Brahmā-darśana at Brahmā-sthāna (implied)
Type: temple
Scene: A pilgrim couple/family performs Kṛṣṇa-arcana and liṅga-pūjā, then proceeds to a Brahmā shrine for darśana on a festival day; the air is festive with flags, lamps, and crowds; a radiant aura signifies 'koṭiguṇa' merit.
FAQs
Darśana at a highly sanctified locus can magnify ordinary devotional merit immensely, especially when performed on sacred observance days.
The excerpt emphasizes Brahmā-darśana connected to Brahmā-sthānas; the precise named tīrtha is not specified in these lines alone.
Seek Brahmā-darśana—particularly on parva days—alongside established worship (Kṛṣṇa-arcana, Liṅga-pūjā) to obtain multiplied merit.
