यावज्जीवं वसेद्यस्तु क्षेत्रमाहात्म्यविन्नरः । जन्ममृत्यु भयं हित्वा स याति परमां गतिम्
yāvajjīvaṃ vasedyastu kṣetramāhātmyavinnaraḥ | janmamṛtyu bhayaṃ hitvā sa yāti paramāṃ gatim

Tirtha: Avimukta-Kṣetra (Kāśī)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Not specified in the provided excerpt
Scene: An elderly devotee residing in Kāśī, seated near a shrine with calm, fearless eyes; behind him the timeless city—ghāṭs, temples, cremation fires at a distance—symbolizing transcendence of birth and death.
Knowing Kāśī’s sanctity and living there with faith leads beyond fear of rebirth to the highest end.
Kāśī as Avimukta-kṣetra.
Lifelong residence grounded in understanding of the kṣetra’s māhātmya (no specific rite beyond steadfast dwelling).
