Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 26
तस्मान्नैव प्रतिश्राव्यं स्वल्पमप्याशु दीयते । तावद्विवर्द्धते दानं यावत्तन्न प्रयच्छति
tasmānnaiva pratiśrāvyaṃ svalpamapyāśu dīyate | tāvadvivarddhate dānaṃ yāvattanna prayacchati
ฉะนั้นอย่าเพียงให้คำมั่นเท่านั้น แม้ทานเพียงเล็กน้อยก็ควรรีบถวาย เพราะทานย่อมทวีขึ้นตราบเท่าที่ยังมิได้มอบให้
Skanda (deduced from Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narrative style)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A pilgrim-householder gives a small but immediate gift—handing a modest packet of grains/coins—while a thought-bubble-like depiction of a large unfulfilled promise fades away; the atmosphere is calm and resolved.
