कमलाक्षी क्लमहरा कृशानुतपनद्युतिः । करुणार्द्रा च कल्याणी कलिकल्मषनाशिनी
kamalākṣī klamaharā kṛśānutapanadyutiḥ | karuṇārdrā ca kalyāṇī kalikalmaṣanāśinī
O Devī mit Lotosaugen, die Müdigkeit und Erschöpfung vertreibt, strahlend wie Feuer und Sonne; von Mitgefühl durchtränkt, stets glückverheißend — Vernichterin der Sünden und Makel des Kali-Zeitalters.
Skanda (deduced for Kāśīkhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka and the Naimiṣāraṇya ṛṣis (typical frame)
Scene: A lotus-eyed Devī in Kāśī, glowing like sun and fire, extending compassion to weary pilgrims; a subtle aura washing away dark Kali-age stains around the ghāṭas.
In Kali-yuga, the Goddess’s compassion is a direct purifier, removing fatigue, sorrow, and sin through devotion.
The Kāśīkhaṇḍa setting implies Kāśī’s special efficacy for purification, harmonizing with Devī’s role as remover of Kali’s stains.
None explicitly; the emphasis is on divine grace accessed through praise and remembrance.
