एवमेतानि पापानि सर्वाणि सुरसुंदरि । नदी नाशयते तथ्यं पंचस्रोता सरस्वती
evametāni pāpāni sarvāṇi surasuṃdari | nadī nāśayate tathyaṃ paṃcasrotā sarasvatī
یوں، اے دیویوں میں حسین، پانچ دھاراؤں میں بہنے والی سرسوتی ندی حقیقتاً یہ تمام گناہ مٹا دیتی ہے۔
Skanda (deduced from Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya narrative style within Skanda Purāṇa)
Tirtha: Pañca-srotas Sarasvatī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sura-sundarī (a celestial maiden) explicitly addressed
Scene: Sarasvatī appears as a radiant river-devī whose waters divide into five shining streams across a sacred plain near the sea; a celestial maiden listens as the narrator declares her power to destroy all sins.
The text culminates the teaching that Sarasvatī at Prabhāsa, revered in her sacred form, is a comprehensive purifier when approached with faith and practice.
Sarasvatī as pañcasrotā (five-streamed) within Prabhāsa Kṣetra.
The verse summarizes the fruit (pāpa-nāśa); earlier prescriptions in the passage include bathing and drinking the sacred waters.
