अयं मंत्रोऽनिशं जप्यः पुंभिर्मुक्तिमभीप्सुभिः । होमो दशांशकः कार्यः श्रद्धाबद्धादरैर्नृभिः
ayaṃ maṃtro'niśaṃ japyaḥ puṃbhirmuktimabhīpsubhiḥ | homo daśāṃśakaḥ kāryaḥ śraddhābaddhādarairnṛbhiḥ
Ce mantra doit être récité sans cesse par ceux qui aspirent à la délivrance (mokṣa). Qu’ils accomplissent un homa équivalant au dixième du nombre de japa, avec une révérence liée à la foi.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśī Khaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra (implied)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A small homa-kuṇḍa near a Kāśī shrine; the practitioner alternates between mālā-japa and offering oblations into a steady flame; attendants bring offerings; the atmosphere is clean, focused, and devotional.
Liberation-oriented practice requires sustained japa supported by disciplined ritual action performed with faith.
Kāśī is the overarching sacred setting, but the verse itself focuses on practice (sādhana) rather than a particular tīrtha.
Perform homa equal to one-tenth of the total japa count (daśāṃśa-homa).
