Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 81
यस्तु तां वरयेत्कन्यां ब्राह्मणो ज्ञानपूर्वतः । अश्राद्धेयमपांक्तेयं तं विद्याद्वृषलीपतिम्
yastu tāṃ varayetkanyāṃ brāhmaṇo jñānapūrvataḥ | aśrāddheyamapāṃkteyaṃ taṃ vidyādvṛṣalīpatim
जो ब्राह्मण जाणूनबुजून अशी कन्या वरे (विवाह करतो), तो अश्राद्धेय व अपांक्तेय समजावा; तो ‘वृषलीपति’ म्हणून ओळखला जातो.
Skanda (deduced from Prabhāsa-kṣetra Māhātmya narrative style)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Scene: A ritual dining line (pāṅkti) and śrāddha setting is shown symbolically; a brāhmaṇa is gently barred, while a sage cites śāstra—emphasizing consequence rather than drama.
FAQs
Knowingly violating dharma in marriage/association is said to bring ritual disqualification, affecting one’s capacity to support Pitṛ rites.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra provides the authoritative setting where such dharma rules are taught as part of the tīrtha’s Māhātmya.
The verse explicitly states disqualification: being aśrāddheya (unfit for Śrāddha) and apāṅkteya (unfit for ritual dining line).
