Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 10
कृष्णार्चने च यत्पुण्यं यत्पुण्यं लिंग पूजने । तत्फलं कोटिगुणितं सदा वै ब्रह्मदर्शनात् । भविष्यति न सन्देहो विशेषात्सर्वपर्वसु
kṛṣṇārcane ca yatpuṇyaṃ yatpuṇyaṃ liṃga pūjane | tatphalaṃ koṭiguṇitaṃ sadā vai brahmadarśanāt | bhaviṣyati na sandeho viśeṣātsarvaparvasu
کِرشن کی ارچنا سے جو پُنّیہ ملتا ہے اور لِنگ کی پوجا سے جو پُنّیہ حاصل ہوتا ہے—برہما کے محض درشن سے وہ پھل ہمیشہ کروڑ گنا بڑھ جاتا ہے؛ اس میں کوئی شک نہیں، خصوصاً تمام مقدس تہواروں کے دنوں میں۔

Tirtha: Brahmā-darśana at Brahmā-sthāna (implied)
Type: temple
Scene: A pilgrim couple/family performs Kṛṣṇa-arcana and liṅga-pūjā, then proceeds to a Brahmā shrine for darśana on a festival day; the air is festive with flags, lamps, and crowds; a radiant aura signifies 'koṭiguṇa' merit.
FAQs
Darśana at a highly sanctified locus can magnify ordinary devotional merit immensely, especially when performed on sacred observance days.
The excerpt emphasizes Brahmā-darśana connected to Brahmā-sthānas; the precise named tīrtha is not specified in these lines alone.
Seek Brahmā-darśana—particularly on parva days—alongside established worship (Kṛṣṇa-arcana, Liṅga-pūjā) to obtain multiplied merit.
