Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 48
ये च पश्यंति लोकास्ते धन्याः सर्वे न संशयः । पुत्रधान्यधनैर्युक्ता नीरुजस्तेजसाऽन्विताः
ye ca paśyaṃti lokāste dhanyāḥ sarve na saṃśayaḥ | putradhānyadhanairyuktā nīrujastejasā'nvitāḥ
اور جو لوگ اسے دیکھتے ہیں وہ سب کے سب مبارک ہیں، اس میں کوئی شک نہیں؛ اولاد، غلّہ اور دولت سے بہرہ ور، بیماری سے پاک اور نور و جلال سے بھرپور۔

FAQs

The verse refers to witnessing the associated sacred event (linked to Bhaṭṭāditya and the ratha context) rather than specifying a new location.
The implied act is darśana—coming to see the sacred rite/festival—praised as meritorious.
