Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 127
विद्याधरैर्ननंदे च वसुधा ववृधे भृशम् । महाविभवसंभारे तस्मिन्दाक्षे महाक्रतौ । इत्थं प्रवृत्तेऽथ मुनिः कैलासं नारदो ययौ
vidyādharairnanaṃde ca vasudhā vavṛdhe bhṛśam | mahāvibhavasaṃbhāre tasmindākṣe mahākratau | itthaṃ pravṛtte'tha muniḥ kailāsaṃ nārado yayau
毗陀耶陀罗众欢喜，世间大地亦极其昌盛。当达克沙那宏大的祭祀在无比辉煌与浩大筹备中进行之时，圣贤那罗陀遂前往凯拉萨。

FAQs
Outer splendour and ritual grandeur can flourish, yet the Purāṇic narrative hints that true stability depends on honoring Śiva and dharma.
Kailāsa is referenced as Śiva’s sacred abode; the larger frame remains Kāśī-khaṇḍa, though this verse itself spotlights Kailāsa.
No prescription; it describes the ongoing mahākratu (great sacrifice) and narrative movement of Nārada.
