Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 10

Devanagari script

यस्यामलामृतयशःश्रवणावगाहः सद्यः पुनाति जगदा श्वपचाद्विकुंठः । सोहं भवद्भिरुपलब्ध सुतीर्थकीर्तिश्छद्यां स्वबाहुमपि यः प्रतिकूलवर्ती

Transliteration

yasyāmalāmṛtayaśaḥśravaṇāvagāhaḥ sadyaḥ punāti jagadā śvapacādvikuṃṭhaḥ | sohaṃ bhavadbhirupalabdha sutīrthakīrtiśchadyāṃ svabāhumapi yaḥ pratikūlavartī

Translation

ผู้ใดดำดิ่งในการสดับพระเกียรติอันบริสุทธิ์และอมฤต—พระวิกุณฐะ—ย่อมชำระโลกให้ผ่องใสในบัดดล แม้ถึงชนจัณฑาลผู้ต่ำต้อย. เรานั่นเอง ผู้ซึ่งพวกท่านรู้จักว่าเลื่องลือด้วยเกียรติแห่งทีรถะอันแท้; และหากแม้แขนของเรายังประพฤติสวนทางธรรม เราก็จักตัดแขนนั้นเสีย

FAQs

Hearing the divine glory purifies universally, and unwavering commitment to dharma demands rejecting even one’s own impulses when they oppose righteousness.

No single named tīrtha appears; the verse praises su-tīrtha-kīrti (renown connected with true sacred places) and the purifying power of śravaṇa.

Śravaṇa (devout hearing of the Lord’s fame) is presented as a potent purifier; no other rite is specified.
