Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 57
सर्वेषामेव पापानां निष्कृतिः प्रोच्यते बुधैः । पित्रोरभक्तस्य पुनर्निष्कृतिर्नैव विद्यते
sarveṣāmeva pāpānāṃ niṣkṛtiḥ procyate budhaiḥ | pitrorabhaktasya punarniṣkṛtirnaiva vidyate

Barbarīka (continuing)
Scene: A penitent speaker declares a severe dharma verdict: all sins have expiation, but lack of devotion to mother and father has none; the atmosphere is austere, didactic, and heavy with remorse.
