Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 130
दर्शश्च पौर्णमासी च साग्निकैः पूर्वसंयुता । नाग्निहीनैस्तु कर्त्तव्या पुनराह प्रजापतिः
darśaśca paurṇamāsī ca sāgnikaiḥ pūrvasaṃyutā | nāgnihīnaistu karttavyā punarāha prajāpatiḥ
جن کے پاس مقدس آگ (اگنی) قائم ہے، ان کے لیے درش اور پَورنماسی کے یَجْن پہلے (پوروا) وقت کے اتصال کے ساتھ کیے جائیں۔ مگر جو اگنی سے محروم ہوں، ان کے لیے انہیں دوسرے طریقے سے کرنا چاہیے—یہ بات پرجاپتی نے پھر بیان کی۔
Sūta (deduced; citing Prajāpati as authority)
Tirtha: Dvārakā (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Two parallel ritual setups: on one side, a sāgnika with three sacred fires performing Darśa–Paurṇamāsa with ‘pūrva’ connection; on the other, an anagnika performing the adapted rite; Prajāpati is invoked as the authoritative source.
FAQs
Dharma adapts rites to one’s ritual status (with or without sacred fires), but still demands correct timing and method.

Different timing/mode for Darśa–Paurṇamāsī depending on whether one is sāgnika (maintains fires) or agnihīna (does not).
