Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 52
रुद्राध्यायाभिजप्तेन स्नानं कुर्वंति येंऽभसा । तेषां मृत्युभयं नास्ति शिवलो के महीयते
rudrādhyāyābhijaptena snānaṃ kurvaṃti yeṃ'bhasā | teṣāṃ mṛtyubhayaṃ nāsti śivalo ke mahīyate
جو لوگ اُس پانی سے غسل کرتے ہیں جس پر رُدرادھیائے کی جپت کی گئی ہو، اُنہیں موت کا خوف نہیں رہتا؛ وہ شِولोक میں عزت پاتے ہیں۔

Type: kund
Scene: Devotees bathing with mantra-consecrated water; a shadowy figure of ‘Mṛtyu’ recedes; above, a luminous Śiva-loka vision—white peaks/cloud-palace with Śiva’s emblem—signifying honor in Śiva’s world.
FAQs
Mantra-infused sacred bathing purifies deeply, removing mṛtyu-bhaya and orienting the devotee toward Śiva’s grace and realm.
No named tīrtha appears; the emphasis is on mantra-charged water used for sacred bathing.
Bathe using water sanctified by Rudrādhyāya recitation (rudrādhyāyābhijapta-ambhas).
