Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 2
यजत्येको महायज्ञैः संपूर्णवरदक्षिणैः । एकः पश्यति देवेशं कृष्णं तुल्यफलौ हि तौ
yajatyeko mahāyajñaiḥ saṃpūrṇavaradakṣiṇaiḥ | ekaḥ paśyati deveśaṃ kṛṣṇaṃ tulyaphalau hi tau
ผู้หนึ่งประกอบมหายัญพร้อมทักษิณาอันครบถ้วนและประเสริฐ; อีกผู้หนึ่งได้เฝ้าดูพระกฤษณะ ผู้เป็นจอมเทพ—แท้จริงผลบุญของทั้งสองย่อมเสมอกัน
Prahlāda (continuing)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Scene: A split-scene: on one side a grand yajña with priests, fire-altar, and heaps of dakṣiṇā; on the other a pilgrim simply beholding Kṛṣṇa in Dvārakā’s shrine—both scales balanced to show equal fruit.
