Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 65
भृगुणा ऋषिभिः साकं तथैव च पुरोधसा । तस्माद्युयं न पूज्याश्च भवेयुः क्लेशभागिनः
bhṛguṇā ṛṣibhiḥ sākaṃ tathaiva ca purodhasā | tasmādyuyaṃ na pūjyāśca bhaveyuḥ kleśabhāginaḥ
“Bersama Bhṛgu, bersama para resi, dan juga bersama pendeta upacaramu—maka kamu semua tidak lagi layak dipuja, dan akan menjadi penanggung bahagian penderitaan.”
Ākāśavāṇī (continuing the curse-pronouncement context)
Tirtha: Kedāra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Brahmā and associated assembly (Bhṛgu, sages, priest)
Scene: The curse expands: Bhṛgu, sages, and the purohita are included; the assembly’s aura dims, garlands droop, and the sense of being 'unworthy of worship' is shown as a loss of radiance.
FAQs

Not directly; the Kedāra section uses narrative to reinforce dharma rather than enumerate pilgrimage fruits in this verse.
An implied consequence: those implicated lose eligibility to receive worship/ritual honor.
