आयुर्बलं यशो वर्चः प्रजाः पशु वसूनि च । ब्रह्म प्रज्ञां च मेधां च त्वन्नो देहि वनस्पते
āyurbalaṃ yaśo varcaḥ prajāḥ paśu vasūni ca | brahma prajñāṃ ca medhāṃ ca tvanno dehi vanaspate
«هَبْ لنا طولَ العمرِ والقوةَ والسمعةَ والبهاء؛ والذريةَ والماشيةَ والأموالَ أيضًا. يا ربَّ النبات، امنحْنا البراهمَ—البصيرةَ الروحية—ووهبْ لنا الحكمةَ والتمييزَ والذكاء.»
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee holds a twig/plant implement and a water vessel, reciting a blessing-mantra; around him are symbols of longevity, radiance, and learning—lamp, palm-leaf manuscript, and a calm lunar glow.
Daily purity and prayer seek both dharmic prosperity and higher knowledge—worldly welfare harmonized with spiritual wisdom.
The teaching occurs within the Kāśīkhaṇḍa (Kāśī’s sacred domain), without naming a particular tīrtha in this verse.
A supplicatory mantra addressed to Vanaspati, traditionally linked to using a plant-twig for tooth-cleaning (dantadhāvana).
