Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 7

Devanagari script

तमेवाराधयिष्यामि निरंजनमकल्मषः । एवं कृत्वा मतिं दैत्य स्तपस्तेपे सुदुष्करम् । भीतो जन्मभयाद्घोराद्दुष्करं यन्महात्मभिः

Transliteration

tamevārādhayiṣyāmi niraṃjanamakalmaṣaḥ | evaṃ kṛtvā matiṃ daitya stapastepe suduṣkaram | bhīto janmabhayādghorādduṣkaraṃ yanmahātmabhiḥ

Translation

“เราจักบูชาแต่พระองค์ผู้เดียว—ผู้บริสุทธิ์ไร้มลทิน (นิรัญชนะ) ปราศจากมลทินทั้งปวง” ครั้นตั้งจิตดังนี้แล้ว อสูรเผ่าทัยตยะจึงบำเพ็ญตบะอันยากยิ่ง ด้วยความหวาดกลัวอันน่าสะพรึงต่อการเกิดซ้ำ—แม้มหาตมะก็ยังทำได้ยาก

FAQs

Fear of saṃsāra can mature into single-pointed devotion; liberation-oriented worship (of the ‘stainless’ Lord) is upheld as the highest aim.

No particular site is cited; the emphasis is on inner motivation (release from birth-fear) and devotion to the supreme Lord.

Ārādhana (devotional propitiation) and rigorous tapas are indicated, but without a named vrata or detailed procedure.
