«حيث إن فيشفيشڤارا حاضرٌ بذاته حضورًا مباشرًا، وحيث إن الغانغا السماوية حاضرةٌ بنفسها، وحيث يقيم حكماءُ مثلك—فكيف يكون هناك خوفٌ مولودٌ من البلاء؟»
Disciples of Vyāsa
Tirtha: Viśveśvara-kṣetra in Kāśī; Gaṅgā (Amaradhunī)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Guru (a revered muni)
Scene: A devotional tableau: Viśveśvara’s temple presence, Gaṅgā flowing nearby, and venerable sages seated in meditation—forming a triad that radiates fearlessness over the city.
Divine presence (Śiva and Gaṅgā) and saintly company dissolve fear; sacred geography supports inner fearlessness.
Kāśī, especially Viśveśvara’s kṣetra and the Gaṅgā flowing there.
No explicit ritual; the verse asserts the protective, fear-dispelling power of dwelling in Kāśī.
