Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 147

Devanagari script

यस्माद्भवतां सावित्र्या शापो दत्तो सदे त्विह । अत्र दत्तं हुतं चापि सर्वमक्षयकारकम् । दत्तो वरो मया तेन युष्माकं द्विजसत्तमाः

Transliteration

yasmādbhavatāṃ sāvitryā śāpo datto sade tviha | atra dattaṃ hutaṃ cāpi sarvamakṣayakārakam | datto varo mayā tena yuṣmākaṃ dvijasattamāḥ

Translation

چونکہ ساوتری نے یہاں تم پر شاپ (لعنت) رکھا تھا، اس لیے یہاں جو دان دیا جائے اور جو ہون کی آگ میں آہوتی ڈالی جائے، وہ سب اَکھَی (لازوال) پھل دینے والا ہو جاتا ہے۔ اسی سبب، اے دو بار جنم لینے والوں کے بہترینو، میں نے تمہیں یہ ور عطا کیا ہے۔
