Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 41
त्वमेव सर्वं त्वयि देव सर्वं स्तोता स्तुतिः स्तव्य इह त्वमेव । ईश त्वयाऽवास्यमिदं हि सर्वं नमोस्तु भूयोपि नमो नमस्ते
tvameva sarvaṃ tvayi deva sarvaṃ stotā stutiḥ stavya iha tvameva | īśa tvayā'vāsyamidaṃ hi sarvaṃ namostu bhūyopi namo namaste
তুমিয়েই সকলো; হে দেৱ, সকলো তোমাতেই অৱস্থিত। ইয়াত স্তোতা, স্তুতি আৰু স্তৱ্য—সকলো তুমিয়েই। হে ঈশ, এই সমগ্ৰ জগত তোমাৰ দ্বাৰাই ব্যাপ্ত আৰু আচ্ছাদিত। নমস্কাৰ—পুনঃ পুনঃ নমস্কাৰ, নমো নমস্তে।

Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis / audience of Kāśī-māhātmya
Scene: Devas chant a unified-pervasion hymn; the world appears as a garment of the Lord—rivers, ghats, temples, beings all within a single divine aura; repeated namas forms a rhythmic visual cadence.

Repeated salutation and praise (namas, stuti) are implied as devotional practice.
