आराधितं सदा पुंसां सर्वजाड्यविनाशकृत् । वरुणेशस्य ये भक्ता न तेषामब्भयं क्वचित्
ārādhitaṃ sadā puṃsāṃ sarvajāḍyavināśakṛt | varuṇeśasya ye bhaktā na teṣāmabbhayaṃ kvacit
Stets von den Menschen verehrt, vernichtet er alle Dumpfheit und Trägheit. Die Bhaktas des Varuṇeśa kennen zu keiner Zeit Furcht vor dem Wasser.
Skanda (contextual narrator concluding the phalaśruti-style claim)
Tirtha: Varuṇeśa
Type: kshetra (liṅga-sthāna)
Scene: Devotees worship Varuṇeśa liṅga continuously; the atmosphere suggests mental brightness replacing dullness, and a protective aura against water dangers.
Regular worship refines the mind (removing jāḍya) and grants protective grace, showing bhakti’s practical and spiritual fruits.
Varuṇeśvara (Varuṇeśa) in Kāśī/Vārāṇasī.
The verse implies continual ārādhana (regular worship) of Varuṇeśvara; no detailed rite is specified.
