एकसार्थप्रयाताय क्षुत्क्षामायावसीदते । अदत्त्वा भोजनं यैश्च कृतं तेऽत्र व्यवस्थिताः
ekasārthaprayātāya kṣutkṣāmāyāvasīdate | adattvā bhojanaṃ yaiśca kṛtaṃ te'tra vyavasthitāḥ
جن لوگوں نے قافلے کے ساتھ سفر کرنے والے اس مسافر کو، جو بھوک سے نڈھال ہو کر گرنے لگا تھا، کھانا نہ دیا—وہ یہاں ٹھہرائے جاتے ہیں۔
Skanda (deduced from Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narrative style)
Tirtha: Durgama (Naraka)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A caravan road scene: a hunger-stricken traveler collapses; a householder/merchant refuses food. The scene transitions to Durgama hell where the refuser is driven across thorns amid snakes and scorpions.
Hospitality to the hungry—especially travelers and pilgrims—is a core dharma; refusing it brings severe karmic reaction.
The verse does not name a particular tīrtha; it teaches dharma within a Tīrthamāhātmya chapter.
Anna-dāna to the hungry traveler is the implied practice.
