दंडयित्वा मनोवाचं कायं नित्यं त्रिदंडिनः । नैःश्रेयसीं श्रियं प्राप्तुं श्रयंते मणिकर्णिकाम्
daṃḍayitvā manovācaṃ kāyaṃ nityaṃ tridaṃḍinaḥ | naiḥśreyasīṃ śriyaṃ prāptuṃ śrayaṃte maṇikarṇikām
ત્રિદંડી સંન્યાસીઓ મન, વાણી અને કાયાને નિત્ય શાસનથી સંયમમાં રાખી પરમ નિઃશ્રેયસ-શ્રી મેળવવા મણિકર્ણિકાનો આશ્રય લે છે।
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Maṇikarṇikā
Type: ghat
Scene: A tridaṇḍin sannyāsin holds the triple staff, standing firm on the ghāṭa steps; three subtle streams of light symbolize mind-speech-body discipline converging toward a radiant mokṣa-lotus above Maṇikarṇikā.
True renunciation disciplines thought, word, and deed, and seeks its highest fulfillment in the liberating refuge of Maṇikarṇikā.
Maṇikarṇikā in Kāśī, approached by advanced renunciants for niḥśreyasa.
Tri-fold self-restraint (mind, speech, body) characteristic of tridaṇḍin renunciants, coupled with resorting to the tīrtha.
