She is delightful, of flawless limbs, of endless essence, and without blemish. She grants health, is the creeper of bliss, and destroys the suffering of those who seek refuge.

Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Naimiṣāraṇya ṛṣis (frame)
Scene: Devī as a compassionate mother-figure in Kāśī, extending a hand to distressed devotees; a healing aura surrounds them; vines/creepers of blossoming lotuses symbolize ‘ānanda-vallī’; the Ganga and ghāṭas appear behind.
Seeking refuge in the sacred river is portrayed as both spiritual and worldly support—relief from distress and restoration of wellbeing.
Gaṅgā in Kāśī, approached as a healing and refuge-granting tīrtha within the city’s māhātmya.
Not explicit; the verse supports devotional recitation and tīrtha-sevā (approaching the river for blessing).
