iti-śrīskandapurāṇe revākhaṇḍe satyanārāyaṇavratakathāyāṃ prathamo'dhyāya:..1..
'If wheat flour is not available, then one may mix rice flour, and raw sugar in place of refined sugar. Mixing it all, one should prepare the offering of one and a quarter parts and present it as naivedya. After this, one should listen to the sacred story, receive the food offering, give sacrificial fees to brahmins, and subsequently feed the brahmins along with one's kinsmen.
After partaking of the food offering, they should perform singing and the like, and then, remembering Lord Satyanārāyaṇa, one's relatives should return to their respective homes. The heartfelt wish of one who performs such an observance and worship will certainly be fulfilled. In the Kaliyuga, especially, this simple means is easily available upon this earth.'
Thus ends the first chapter in the story of the observance of Satyanārāyaṇa in the Revākhaṇḍa of the glorious Skandapurāṇa. 1.
