Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 35
साधु साधु महाभाग सत्त्ववांस्तु भुजंगम । त्वया भक्त्या गृहीतोऽहं प्रीतस्ते ह्युरगेश्वर । वरं याचय मे क्षिप्रं यस्ते मनसि वर्तते
sādhu sādhu mahābhāga sattvavāṃstu bhujaṃgama | tvayā bhaktyā gṛhīto'haṃ prītaste hyurageśvara | varaṃ yācaya me kṣipraṃ yaste manasi vartate
شاباش، شاباش، اے بلند نصیب اور ثابت قدم بھُجنگ! تیری بھکتی نے مجھے مسخر کر لیا؛ اے ناگوں کے سردار، میں تجھ سے خوش ہوں۔ جو ور تیرے دل میں ہے، فوراً مجھ سے مانگ لے۔

FAQs
Bhakti and steadfast tapas attract Śiva’s grace, culminating in direct communion and boon-bestowal.
The setting remains the Revā/Narmadā region of the Revā Khaṇḍa, though this verse centers on Śiva’s encounter rather than a named tīrtha.
No formal ritual is prescribed; the emphasis is on devotion (bhakti) and the fruition of tapas in receiving a boon.
