Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Skandomā (स्कन्दोमा) refers to “Skanda and Umā”, whom, when in the company of Śiva (viz., Skandomāsahita), forms a central part of a specific type of worship of Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.14:—“[...] I shall now tell you, as I have heard, the benefit accruing from the due worship of Śiva in the company of Skanda and Umā [viz., Skandomā-sahita]. He will enjoy in this world all kinds of auspicious pleasures with sons and grandsons. Then he will go to the region of Śiva that is conducive to all happiness. He will enjoy happy sports with Śiva’s attendants, move about in aerial chariots that can go anywhere they pleased and that shine like ten million suns and will be served by Rudra’s maidens with songs and instrumental music, till the time of Dissolution. Then he will attain perfect knowledge and ultimately salvation”.
