निमेषमात्रमपि यो ह्यविमुक्तेऽतिभक्तिभाक् । ब्रह्मचर्यसमायुक्तं तेन तप्तं महत्तपः
nimeṣamātramapi yo hyavimukte'tibhaktibhāk | brahmacaryasamāyuktaṃ tena taptaṃ mahattapaḥ
অৱিমুক্তত যি জনে নিমেষমাত্ৰ সময়ো অতি-ভক্তিৰে পৰিপূৰ্ণ হয়, আৰু ব্ৰহ্মচৰ্য্যত যুক্ত থাকে—তেনে মহৎ তপস্যা সম্পন্ন কৰে।
Skanda
Tirtha: Avimukta
Type: kshetra
Listener: muni/vipra addressed
Scene: A devotee in Avimukta, eyes half-closed for a blink, hands in añjali, a sudden surge of light from the Śiva-linga; the scene conveys instantaneous transformation—tapas igniting like a flame.
In Kāśī’s Avimukta, even brief, intense devotion—supported by self-discipline—carries the weight of profound tapas.
Avimukta-kṣetra in Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), presented as uniquely potent for devotion and austerity.
Brahmacarya (continence/regulated conduct) alongside intense bhakti in Avimukta; no other specific rite is stated.
