Seeing the ārātrika of the Lord (verse 87), from Skanda Purāṇa: The face of Viṣṇu lit by the light from the ārātrika lamp burns up ten million sins of killing brāhmaṇas and ten million sins committed in the past and to be committed in the future.
Purport
Observing Ārati and Celebrations of the Lord In the Skanda Purāṇa there is the following description of the result of seeing ārati (worship) of the Deity: “If someone sees the face of the Lord while ārati is going on, he can be relieved of all sinful reactions coming from many, many thousands and millions of years past. He is even excused from the killing of a brāhmaṇa or similar prohibited activities.
