Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 46
रात्रौ ये पापकर्माणो भक्षंति दधिसक्तुकान् । तेन पापेन लिप्यामि यद्यहं नागमे पुनः
rātrau ye pāpakarmāṇo bhakṣaṃti dadhisaktukān | tena pāpena lipyāmi yadyahaṃ nāgame punaḥ
若我不再回到此处，愿我被那些作恶之人之罪所染——他们夜里食用酸乳与炒面相和；愿我因那同一罪业而受其污。
Unspecified (contextual vow/utterance within Arbuda Khaṇḍa narration; likely a pilgrim or narrator-voice within the māhātmya)
Tirtha: Arbuda-kshetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Night at the tīrtha: a small group eats a bowl of curd mixed with roasted flour under lamplight, labeled as improper conduct. The pilgrim, instead, sits in restraint, perhaps sipping water, facing the shrine and renewing the vow to return and keep niyamas.
FAQs
Pilgrimage discipline includes personal restraints; even food-timing rules are treated as part of vrata-like purity.
Arbuda-kṣetra is the setting where such niyamas are invoked to safeguard the sanctity of the pilgrimage.
A niyama is implied: avoidance of eating dadhisaktu at night, framed as part of righteous conduct.
