अनावृष्टिहते लोके पंचेंद्रं तत्र यो जपेत् । तस्य हस्तकृते होमे तन्मंत्रैः स्याज्जलागमः
anāvṛṣṭihate loke paṃceṃdraṃ tatra yo japet | tasya hastakṛte home tanmaṃtraiḥ syājjalāgamaḥ
अनावृष्टिहते लोके यः तत्र ‘पञ्चेन्द्रम्’ जपेत्, तस्य हस्तकृते होमे तन्मन्त्रैः जलागमः—वृष्टिरागमनं—भवति।
Skanda (deduced from Nāgarakhaṇḍa tīrtha-māhātmya narration style)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A drought-stricken landscape; at the tīrtha, a devotee performs homa with raised hands, flames bright; clouds gather and first drops fall as villagers watch in reverence.
Puranic dharma presents yajña and mantra as harmonizing acts that restore cosmic and environmental balance.
A Nāgarakhaṇḍa tīrtha in the Tīrthamāhātmya; the rain-bringing rite is said to work when done ‘tatra’.
Japa of the Pañcendra followed by a homa using those mantras to invite rainfall.
