Skandapurana 16.94

The Lord said: / Then one should go, O great goddess, to the excellent Lord of the Bhairavas (Bhairaveśvara), / situated in the fire direction (southeast) of that very [shrine], at a distance of ten bows.

It grants all desires, O goddess, and destroys the flood of poverty; / in the Kṛta age, O beloved, it was celebrated of old under the name Caṇḍeśvara.

Formerly, O goddess, an attendant named Caṇḍa worshipped it / for a thousand celestial years; therefore it is remembered as Caṇḍeśvara.

Having seen that Lord of the gods of gods and having touched [it] with a well-composed mind, / one is freed from every sin from birth to the moment of death.

He who, having become intent on fasting, observes a vigil there / on the fourteenth day of the dark half in the month of Bhādrapada, O beloved, / goes to the supreme abode where the god Maheśvara resides.

Sin committed by speech, mind, / or bodily action— / all that comes to ruin from the darśana of that liṅga.

Sesame seeds, gold, and garments should be given there to a wise man / by one who wishes for the complete fruit of the pilgrimage to destroy all sins.

Because he destroys the entire universe at the end of a kalpa, / having assumed the form of Bhairava, O queen of gods, he is therefore remembered as Bhairava.

In this kalpa, O great goddess, having taken his stand in Prabhāsakṣetra, / Rudra Bhairava became embodied as a liṅga at the close of the kalpa.

Thus has the glory of Bhairaveśvara been told in brief, / hearing which a creature is freed from extremely dreadful sin.

Thus ends the ninety-fourth chapter, entitled 'Description of the Glory of Bhairaveśvara', in the Praise of the Eleven Rudras, in the first [part], the 'Glory of Prabhāsakṣetra', of the seventh [section], the Prabhāsakhaṇḍa, in the glorious Skanda Mahāpurāṇa, a compendium of eighty-one thousand verses.
