Skanda (deduced; Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A composed pilgrim-noble in Kāśī speaks gently to supplicants, offers thanks to elders, and turns away from temptations; symbolic motifs include a water pot for purity, a rosary for restraint, and the Gaṅgā ghat as backdrop.
Dharma is safeguarded by truthfulness, purity, restraint of speech, and mastery over the senses.
No single tirtha is specified; it supports the Kāśī-centered dharma narrative by praising inner purity and conduct.
None explicitly; the “śauca” theme implies purity-discipline rather than a named rite.
