स्कंद उवाच । प्रसंगतो मयैतानि तीर्थानि कथितानि ते । भूमौ तिलांतरायां यत्तत्र तीर्थान्यनेशः
skaṃda uvāca | prasaṃgato mayaitāni tīrthāni kathitāni te | bhūmau tilāṃtarāyāṃ yattatra tīrthānyaneśaḥ
Skanda said: Incidentally, I have told you of these tīrthas. In the earthly region called Tilāntarā there are indeed countless sacred fords, O Lord.
Skanda
Tirtha: Tilāntarā (tīrtha-cluster)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya (Kalaśodbhava)
Scene: Skanda, as narrator, gestures to an expanse of Kāśī’s sacred ground called Tilāntarā, implying countless unseen tīrthas spread like a sacred map.
Kāśī is framed as a dense sacred landscape—its holiness is not isolated to one spot but spread through innumerable tīrthas.
Tilāntarā is referenced as a locale containing innumerable tīrthas, within the Kāśī sacred geography.
No specific rite is prescribed here; it functions as a summary/transition emphasizing the abundance of tīrthas.
