Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 37
इदं पुराणं मनुजः शृणोति श्रद्धायुक्तो भेदबुद्ध्या दृढत्वम् । तस्या वश्यं जीवितं सर्वसिद्धं मर्त्याः सत्यात्तच्छ्रयत्वं प्रयांति
idaṃ purāṇaṃ manujaḥ śṛṇoti śraddhāyukto bhedabuddhyā dṛḍhatvam | tasyā vaśyaṃ jīvitaṃ sarvasiddhaṃ martyāḥ satyāttacchrayatvaṃ prayāṃti
جو انسان اس پران کو श्रद्धا کے ساتھ اور پختہ امتیازی بصیرت کے ساتھ سنتا ہے، وہ زندگی پر غلبہ اور تمام سِدھیوں کی تکمیل پاتا ہے؛ سچ کی قوت سے فانی لوگ اسی اعلیٰ سہارا میں پناہ لیتے ہیں۔

Type: kshetra

FAQs
Faithful listening to sacred narrative (śravaṇa) is itself a dharmic practice that yields spiritual steadiness and merit.
This is a general phalaśruti within the Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra Māhātmya/Cāturmāsya frame, not a single tīrtha description.
Purāṇa-śravaṇa (listening/recitation) with śraddhā and discernment is the implied practice.
