Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 28

Devanagari script

पादेन वा क्रीडमाना जलं लिप्संति ये नरा । तेषामपि श्राद्धफलं विधिवत्संभविष्यति । तत्र लिंगानि पूज्यानि शूलभेदादिकानि तु

Transliteration

pādena vā krīḍamānā jalaṃ lipsaṃti ye narā | teṣāmapi śrāddhaphalaṃ vidhivatsaṃbhaviṣyati | tatra liṃgāni pūjyāni śūlabhedādikāni tu

Translation

即便有人仅以足戏水，偶然溅起或啜饮其水，对他们也将如法生起施行śrāddha（祭祖仪式）之果报。彼处诸林伽当受礼敬，如“舒拉贝达”（Śūlabheda）等。
