राजन्यवर्यास्ते बाहु वैश्या ऊरुसमुद्भवाः । पद्भ्यां शूद्रस्तवेशान केशास्ते जलदाः प्रभो
rājanyavaryāste bāhu vaiśyā ūrusamudbhavāḥ | padbhyāṃ śūdrastaveśāna keśāste jaladāḥ prabho
Ô Īśāna, les nobles Kṣatriya sont tes bras ; les Vaiśya naissent de tes cuisses ; le Śūdra vient de tes pieds ; et tes cheveux, ô Seigneur, sont l’amas des nuées.
Skanda (deduced from Kāśīkhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śiva as cosmic figure with symbolic varṇa-emblems: kṣatriya warriors as arms, merchants/agricultural abundance at thighs, humble workers at feet; hair transforming into monsoon clouds raining over the world.
Human social functions are framed as parts of the divine cosmic body, urging harmony and dharma rather than separation.
The Kāśīkhaṇḍa setting implies Kāśī’s sacred worldview, but no single tīrtha is specified in this verse.
None.
