Tirtha: Uddālaka tīrtha
Type: kund
Scene: A small tīrtha pool labeled ‘Uddālaka’ near the Uddālakeśvara Liṅga; in the southern direction stands Devī Yamadaṃṣṭrā with fang-like motifs, chewing a heap of thorny obstacles; pilgrims approach with lamps and water-vessels.
Kāśī’s sacred landscape unites liṅgas, tīrthas, and guardian Śaktis—each aiding the pilgrim by dissolving obstacles on the path of dharma.
Uddālaka Tīrtha associated with the Uddālakeśvara Liṅga in Kāśī.
No explicit rite is stated; the verse identifies the tīrtha and the protective Devī who destroys obstacles.
