śrīskandapurāṇe revākhaṇḍe satyanārāyaṇavratakathāyāṃ caturtho'dhyāya:..4..

Summoning everyone near him, he said: "I will worship Satyadeva in detail." Upon repeatedly bowing down to Lord Satyanārāyaṇa, the protector of the helpless, [the Lord] was pleased. Tender towards his devotees, he spoke these gracious words: "Your daughter came to see her husband having left behind the prasāda. For this very reason her husband vanished. If she goes home, accepts the prasāda,
and then returns, then, O Sādhu, she will find her husband; of this there is no doubt." The merchant's daughter also heard this incorporeal voice.
Instantly she went home and received the prasāda. Returning once again, she saw her husband there. Then she said to her father: "Now we should go home; why make any delay?" Hearing his daughter's words, the merchant Sādhu was pleased and worshipped Lord Satyanārāyaṇa according to the prescribed rites. Taking his relatives and his son-in-law, he went to his home. He continued to worship Satyanārāyaṇa on every full moon and saṃkrānti day. Throughout his life he enjoyed happiness, and in the end he went to Śrī Satyanārāyaṇa's abode of Vaikuṇṭha, which is unobtainable by non-Vaiṣṇavas, and where the effect of the three guṇas (sattva, rajas, tamas) wrought by māyā does not exist.
Thus ends the fourth chapter in the Satyanārāyaṇavratakathā in the Revākhaṇḍa of the glorious Skandapurāṇa. 4.
