संसारबंधविच्छित्तिमपि यच्छति सार्चिता । गणना शृंखलादीनां का च तस्याः समर्चनात्
saṃsārabaṃdhavicchittimapi yacchati sārcitā | gaṇanā śṛṃkhalādīnāṃ kā ca tasyāḥ samarcanāt
إذا عُبِدتْ بإجلالٍ لائقٍ منحتْ حتى قطعَ رباطِ السَّمْسَارَة، أي قيود الوجود الدنيوي. فما الحاجة إلى عدِّ ثمراتٍ أدنى—كفكِّ السلاسل ونحوها—بعد أن أُحسِنَت عبادتُها؟
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Scene: A serene Kāśī shrine scene: the Devī being worshipped with lamps and flowers; subtle imagery of broken chains dissolving into light, signifying saṃsāra-bandha-viccheda.
True worship aimed at the Divine in Kāśī culminates in mokṣa—freedom from saṃsāra—making lesser boons insignificant.
Kāśī as a liberating kṣetra, through the presence and worship of the local tīrtha-devī.
Samarcana—proper devotional worship (arcana) of the Goddess associated with the Kāśī sacred geography.
