Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 40

Devanagari script

तस्य मोक्षस्त्वया देयो मद्वाक्यात्सुरसत्तम । तथेत्युक्त्वा महेशस्तं शूलाग्रात्प्रमुमोच ह । अस्थिशेषं कृशांगं च चामुण्डासदृशं द्विजाः

Transliteration

tasya mokṣastvayā deyo madvākyātsurasattama | tathetyuktvā maheśastaṃ śūlāgrātpramumoca ha | asthiśeṣaṃ kṛśāṃgaṃ ca cāmuṇḍāsadṛśaṃ dvijāḥ

Translation

“ขอพระองค์ประทานโมกษะแก่ผู้นั้นเถิด โอ้ผู้ประเสริฐในหมู่เทวะ—ด้วยวาจาของข้า.” ครั้นแล้วพระมหेशะตรัสว่า “ตถาสตุ” และทรงปลดเขาจากปลายตรีศูล. โอ้ทวิชะทั้งหลาย เขาเหลือเพียงกระดูกและร่างผอมแห้ง คล้ายรูปแห่งจามุณฑา.

FAQs

Liberation can be conferred by divine decree; the Purāṇic narrative ties mokṣa to faith, vow, and sacred-form worship.

The tīrtha context is the Nāgarakhaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya, but the site-name is not explicitly present in this verse.

Implied confirmation of the earlier prescription: installing and worshipping the specified Śiva-form yields mokṣa.
