Skandapurana 16.146

Īśvara said: / Then one should go, O great goddess, to the great deity Yameśvara / established by the King of Dharma, situated directly to the north of it. // 1

When the King of Dharma was cursed by Chāyā, O fair-complexioned one, / then his foot fell off, and he was filled with sorrow. // 2

Then, in the sacred field of Prabhāsa, of great austerity, he practiced austerity; / and there he established a liṅga of the trident-bearing god. // 3

Mahādeva, pleased with him, then became manifest to his eyes / and said: 'O Dharma, may it be well with you! Choose the boon you desire.' // 4

Then the King of Dharma said: 'My foot has fallen off; / by your grace, O Lord of gods, let it indeed grow back again. // 5

O best of gods, this liṅga which was made by me for you— / whichever living beings on earth see this with devotion, // 6

for them may there be deliverance from sin by your grace!' // 7

Saying 'So it shall be,' Hara disappeared; / and Yama, having recovered his foot, went back to heaven again. // 8

When that is seen, O best of gods, no fear arising from the world of Yama / exists for men, even those who have committed evil deeds. // 9

Having bathed in the water of the pool on the occasion of Bhrātṛdvitīyā, / standing near Yameśvara, one should gaze upon Yameśa. // 10

A vessel of sesame, a lamp, cows, gold and the like should be given, / dedicating them to the god Yama; one is freed from all sins. // 11

Thus ends the one hundred and forty-sixth chapter, named 'Description of the Māhātmya of Yameśvara,' in the first [part], Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya, of the seventh [section], Prabhāsakhaṇḍa, in the glorious Skandapurāṇa, a compendium of eighty-one thousand [verses]. // 146
