इसमें स्कंद (कार्तकेय) द्वारा शिवतत्व का वर्णन किया गया है। इसीलिए इसका नाम स्कंद पुराण पड़ा। इसमें तीर्थों के उपाख्यानों और उनकी पूजा-पद्धति का भी वर्णन है। 'वैष्णव खंड' में जगन्नाथपुरी की और 'काशीखंड' में काशी के समस्त देवताओं, शिवलिंगों का आविर्भाव और महात्म्य बताया गया है। 'आवन्यखंड' में उज्जैन के महाकलेश्वर का वर्णन है।
हिंदुओं के घर-घर में प्रसिद्ध 'सत्यनारायण व्रत' की कथा 'रेवाखंड' में मिलती है। तीर्थों के वर्णन के माध्यम से यह पुराण पूरे देश का भौगोलिक वर्णन प्रस्तुत करता है। स्कंदपुराण का मूल रचनाकाल सातवीं शताब्दी माना जाता है, पर इसमें समय-समय पर सामग्री जुड़ती गई है। इसके वृहदाकार का यही कारण है।

इसमें स्कंद (कार्तकेय) द्वारा शिवतत्व का वर्णन किया गया है। इसीलिए इसका नाम स्कंद पुराण पड़ा। इसमें तीर्थों के उपाख्यानों और उनकी पूजा-पद्धति का भी वर्णन है। 'वैष्णव खंड' में जगन्नाथपुरी की और 'काशीखंड' में काशी के समस्त देवताओं, शिवलिंगों का आविर्भाव और महात्म्य बताया गया है। 'आवन्यखंड' में उज्जैन के महाकलेश्वर का वर्णन है।
हिंदुओं के घर-घर में प्रसिद्ध 'सत्यनारायण व्रत' की कथा 'रेवाखंड' में मिलती है। तीर्थों के वर्णन के माध्यम से यह पुराण पूरे देश का भौगोलिक वर्णन प्रस्तुत करता है। स्कंदपुराण का मूल रचनाकाल सातवीं शताब्दी माना जाता है, पर इसमें समय-समय पर सामग्री जुड़ती गई है। इसके वृहदाकार का यही कारण है।
माहेश्वर खण्ड
इस खण्ड में दक्ष-यज्ञ वर्णन, सती दाह, देवताओं और शिव गणों में युद्ध, दक्ष-यज्ञ विध्वंस, लिंग प्रतिष्ठा वर्णन, रावणोपाख्यान, समुद्र मंथन, लक्ष्मी की उत्पत्ति, अमृत विभाजन, शिवलिंग माहात्म्य, राशि-नक्षत्र वर्णन, दान भेद वर्णन, सुतनु-नारद संवाद, शिव पूजन का माहात्म्य, शिव तीर्थों सहित शाक्तिपीठ आदि की प्रशंसा, अरुणाचल स्थान का महत्त्व तथा विष्णु को शिव का ही रूप बताया गया है। विष्णु और शिव में कोई अन्तर नहीं है।
अन्तरं शिव विष्णोश्च मनागपि न विद्यते ॥ (स्कन्द पुराण)
अर्थात् जिस प्रकार शिव हैं, उसी प्रकार विष्णु हैं और जैसे विष्णु हैं, वैसे ही शिव हैं। इन दोनों में तनिक भी अन्तर नहीं है।
अधिकांश पुराणों में 'बुद्धावतार' का नाम देने के अतिरिक्त उनकी कोई भी चर्चा नहीं की गई है। परन्तु 'स्कन्द पुराण' में उनका 'माया-मोह' के नाम से विस्तृत वर्णन किया गया है, जो पुराणकार की निष्पक्ष मनोवृत्ति की परिचायक है। कलियुग प्रसंग में बुद्ध का विस्तार से वर्णन है और उन्हें विष्णु का अवतार माना गया है। उनके माध्यम से 'अहिंसा' और 'सेवा भाव' का मार्ग प्रशस्त किया गया है'

'स्कन्द पुराण' का रेवा खण्ड पुराण संहिता का विस्तारपूर्वक वर्णन करता है। इसके अतिरिक्त रेवा माहात्म्य, नर्मदा, कावेरी और संगम की महिमा, शूल भेद प्रशंसा, कालरात्रि कृत जगत् संहार वर्णन, सृष्टि संहार वर्णन, शिव स्तुति निरूपण, वराह वृत्तान्त, सत्यनारायण व्रत कथा वर्णन, रेवा खण्ड पुस्तक का दान महत्त्व तथा विविध तीर्थों, यथा- मेघनाद तीर्थ, भीमेश्वर तीर्थ, नारदेश्वर तीर्थ, दीर्घ स्कन्द और मधुस्कन्द तीर्थ, सुवर्ण शिला तीर्थ, करंज तीर्थ, कामद तीर्थ, भंडारी तीर्थ, स्कन्द तीर्थ, अंगिरस तीर्थ, कोटि तीर्थ, केदारेश्वर तीर्थ, पिशाचेश्वर तीर्थ, अग्नि तीर्थ, सर्प तीर्थ, श्रीकपाल तीर्थ एवं जमदग्नि तीर्थ आदि का विस्तृत वर्णन इस खण्ड में प्राप्त होता है।
इसी प्रकार सभी तीर्थों की महिमा के साथ कोई न कोई कथा जुड़ी हुई है। हिमालय से लेकर कन्याकुमारी तक और अटक से लेकर कामाख्या देवी के मन्दिर तक कोई ऐसा प्रदेश इस भारतभूमि में नहीं है, जहां प्राचीनतम भारतीय संस्कृति का प्रतिनिधित्व करने वाला कोई तीर्थ न हो। काशी में शैव तीर्थ, अवन्तिका (उज्जैन नगरी) में महाकालेश्वर शिव की महिमा तथा नर्मदा तटवर्ती तीर्थों का विशद् वर्णन 'स्कन्द पुराण' में प्राप्त होता है। नर्मदा को शिव के पसीने से उत्पन्न माना जाता है। नर्मदा की महिमा गंगा के पावन जल की भांति ही मानी गई है।
'स्कन्द पुराण' के दारूकवन उपाख्यान में शिवलिंग की महिमा का वर्णन है, जिसमें विष्णु और ब्रह्मा शिवलिंग का ओर-छोर सात आकाश तथा सात पाताल पार करने के उपरान्त भी नहीं जान पाते। इस अवसर पर ब्रह्मा का झूठ उन्हें स्तुति से वंचित करा देता है। उनके दो गवाह सुरभि गाय तथा केतकी का फूल अपवित्र हो गया और केतकी का पुष्प शिवलिंग पर चढ़ाने के लिए वर्जित माना गया। इस प्रसंग से विश्व निर्माता शक्ति के अनन्त रूप का भी प्रतिपादन होता है। इस पुराण की रचना के पीछे पुराणकार की यही मंशा रही होगी कि लोकमानस में जटिल कर्मकाण्डों के प्रति झुकाव न होकर सरल रूप से हरि संकीर्तन का मार्ग प्रशस्त हो। इसलिए पुराणकार ने राम नाम महिमा, शिव नाम महिमा और कृष्ण नाम महिमा का उल्लेख विस्तार से किया है। यदि इस पुराण को तीर्थों की निर्देशिका माना जाए तो अनुचित नहीं होगा।

Skanda Purana Part-16 | स्कन्द पुराण अध्याय १६
The Skanda Purana is the largest Mahapurana, a genre of eighteen Hindu religious texts. The text is devoted mainly to the lilas of Kartikeya, a son of Shiva and Parvati, who is also known as Skanda. It also contains a number of legends about Shiva, and the holy places associated with him. This Mahapurana was recited by the sage Vyasa, and is available in distinct parts, sometimes fragmented too.
यह पुराण कलेवर की दृष्टि से सबसे बड़ा है तथा इसमें लौकिक और पारलौकिक ज्ञान के अनन्त उपदेश भरे हैं। इसमें धर्म, सदाचार, योग, ज्ञान तथा भक्ति के सुन्दर विवेचन के साथ अनेकों साधु-महात्माओं के सुन्दर चरित्र पिरोये गये हैं। आज भी इसमें वर्णित आचारों, पद्धतियों के दर्शन हिन्दू समाज के घर-घर में किये जा सकते हैं। इसके अतिरिक्त इसमें भगवान् शिव की महिमा, सती-चरित्र, शिव-पार्वती विवाह, कार्तिकेय जन्म, तारकासुर वध आदि का मनोहर वर्णन है। सचित्र, सजिल्द।
This Puran is largest in volume and contains numerous valuable guidance on spiritual and material subjects.

Skanda Purana Part-172 | स्कन्द पुराण अध्याय १७२
इसमें स्कंद (कार्तकेय) द्वारा शिवतत्व का वर्णन किया गया है। इसीलिए इसका नाम स्कंद पुराण पड़ा। इसमें तीर्थों के उपाख्यानों और उनकी पूजा-पद्धति का भी वर्णन है। 'वैष्णव खंड' में जगन्नाथपुरी की और 'काशीखंड' में काशी के समस्त देवताओं, शिवलिंगों का आविर्भाव और महात्म्य बताया गया है। 'आवन्यखंड' में उज्जैन के महाकलेश्वर का वर्णन है।
हिंदुओं के घर-घर में प्रसिद्ध 'सत्यनारायण व्रत' की कथा 'रेवाखंड' में मिलती है। तीर्थों के वर्णन के माध्यम से यह पुराण पूरे देश का भौगोलिक वर्णन प्रस्तुत करता है। स्कंदपुराण का मूल रचनाकाल सातवीं शताब्दी माना जाता है, पर इसमें समय-समय पर सामग्री जुड़ती गई है। इसके वृहदाकार का यही कारण है।
माहेश्वर खण्ड
इस खण्ड में दक्ष-यज्ञ वर्णन, सती दाह, देवताओं और शिव गणों में युद्ध, दक्ष-यज्ञ विध्वंस, लिंग प्रतिष्ठा वर्णन, रावणोपाख्यान, समुद्र मंथन, लक्ष्मी की उत्पत्ति, अमृत विभाजन, शिवलिंग माहात्म्य, राशि-नक्षत्र वर्णन, दान भेद वर्णन, सुतनु-नारद संवाद, शिव पूजन का माहात्म्य, शिव तीर्थों सहित शाक्तिपीठ आदि की प्रशंसा, अरुणाचल स्थान का महत्त्व तथा विष्णु को शिव का ही रूप बताया गया है। विष्णु और शिव में कोई अन्तर नहीं है।
अन्तरं शिव विष्णोश्च मनागपि न विद्यते ॥ (स्कन्द पुराण)
अर्थात् जिस प्रकार शिव हैं, उसी प्रकार विष्णु हैं और जैसे विष्णु हैं, वैसे ही शिव हैं। इन दोनों में तनिक भी अन्तर नहीं है।
अधिकांश पुराणों में 'बुद्धावतार' का नाम देने के अतिरिक्त उनकी कोई भी चर्चा नहीं की गई है। परन्तु 'स्कन्द पुराण' में उनका 'माया-मोह' के नाम से विस्तृत वर्णन किया गया है, जो पुराणकार की निष्पक्ष मनोवृत्ति की परिचायक है। कलियुग प्रसंग में बुद्ध का विस्तार से वर्णन है और उन्हें विष्णु का अवतार माना गया है। उनके माध्यम से 'अहिंसा' और 'सेवा भाव' का मार्ग प्रशस्त किया गया है'
