Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 71
महेशितुः प्रसादेन मम किंचिन्न दुर्ल्भम् । इहामुत्र च कल्याणि सर्वकल्याणकारिणः
maheśituḥ prasādena mama kiṃcinna durlbham | ihāmutra ca kalyāṇi sarvakalyāṇakāriṇaḥ
Durch die Gnade Maheśas ist mir nichts überhaupt schwer zu erlangen. O Glückverheißende, hier wie im Jenseits ist Er der Urheber allen Wohlergehens.
Viśvānara
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A declaration of Śiva’s all-auspicious grace: Viśvānara speaks with confidence, as if Śiva’s presence invisibly sanctifies the scene; a subtle aura of the liṅga or trident motif suggests divine backing.
FAQs
Śiva’s grace makes the seemingly unattainable attainable; divine favor is portrayed as the source of auspiciousness in both worldly and transcendent life.
The Kāśī Khaṇḍa context glorifies Kāśī as Śiva’s own sphere, though this verse specifically praises Maheśa’s grace rather than a named tīrtha.
No explicit ritual is mentioned; the emphasis is on prasāda (grace) and devotion.
