Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 155
या गतिः श्रुतित्यागेन साध्वी भार्यातिपीडनात् । साधूनां च परित्यागाद्वृथा जीवितसाधनात् । निष्ठुरस्य गतिर्या च तां गतिं यामि केशव
yā gatiḥ śrutityāgena sādhvī bhāryātipīḍanāt | sādhūnāṃ ca parityāgādvṛthā jīvitasādhanāt | niṣṭhurasya gatiryā ca tāṃ gatiṃ yāmi keśava
噢，凯沙瓦，若我未能成就此任，愿我堕入同一结局：舍弃《闻启》(Śruti)者之报，应受重压贤妻者之报，遗弃圣者之报，徒然营生者之报，以及一切残忍之人所当得的报应。
Skanda (continuing address to Keśava from prior verse context)
Scene: A solemn warrior/devotee raises a hand in oath before Keśava, invoking dire karmic fates if he fails; the atmosphere is grave, with celestial witnesses implied.
FAQs
The verse lists grave adharmic acts—rejecting Śruti, cruelty, harming the virtuous, abandoning sādhus—and treats them as spiritually ruinous, underscoring the seriousness of dharma.
No tīrtha is specified; the focus is ethical dharma within the Skanda–Tāraka episode.
None directly; the implied prescription is adherence to Śruti and service/respect toward sādhus and righteous household conduct.
