Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 63

Devanagari script

मूर्त्तामूर्त्तवैराजं तं सदसद्रूप मव्यम् । चिंतयित्वा विराड्रूपं न भूयःस्तनपो भवेत् । चातुर्मास्ये सकृदपि ध्यानात्कल्मषसंक्षयः

Transliteration

mūrttāmūrttavairājaṃ taṃ sadasadrūpa mavyam | ciṃtayitvā virāḍrūpaṃ na bhūyaḥstanapo bhavet | cāturmāsye sakṛdapi dhyānātkalmaṣasaṃkṣayaḥ

Translation

จงภาวนาถึงพระผู้ไม่เสื่อมสลาย คือ วิราช—ผู้ทรงมีรูปและเหนือรูป ผู้มีสภาวะครอบคลุมทั้งความมีและความไม่มี เมื่อได้พิจารณาพระรูปจักรวาล (วิราฏ) แล้ว ย่อมไม่กลับมาเกิดเป็นผู้มีร่างกายอีก แม้ภาวนาเพียงครั้งเดียวในกาลจาตุรมาสยะ ก็ยังทำลายบาปได้

FAQs

Contemplation of the Lord’s cosmic reality (Virāṭ/Virāj), especially in Cāturmāsya, purifies sin and leads toward freedom from rebirth.

The verse occurs within the Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra Māhātmya section, though this particular shloka emphasizes the time-sacredness of Cāturmāsya more than a single tirtha act.

Dhyāna (meditation) even once during Cāturmāsya is prescribed as a sin-destroying practice.
