वाहिनी वहते तत्र नदी कांचनशेखरात् । धातवस्तत्र ते रक्ताः श्वेता नीलास्तथाऽसिताः
vāhinī vahate tatra nadī kāṃcanaśekharāt | dhātavastatra te raktāḥ śvetā nīlāstathā'sitāḥ
Là coule la rivière Vāhinī, issue de Kāñcanaśekhara. Les minéraux qu’on y trouve sont rouges, blancs, bleus, et aussi noirs.
Bhadra
Tirtha: Vāhinī (river) at Kāñcanaśekhara, within Vastrāpatha-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A luminous hill named Kāñcanaśekhara with a clear river (Vāhinī) springing forth; riverbanks glitter with multicolored mineral strata—red, white, blue, black—like natural pigments laid in bands.
The sanctity of a tīrtha is conveyed through vivid natural features—river-source and distinctive terrain—making sacred space tangible.
The Prabhāsa/Vastrāpatha region, identified by the Vāhinī river and the Kāñcanaśekhara source-area.
None directly; the verse provides environmental identifiers relevant for pilgrimage orientation.
