तस्यार्कस्य मनोलोलं यदासीत्काशिदर्शने । अतो लोलार्क इत्याख्या काश्यां जाता विवस्वतः
tasyārkasya manololaṃ yadāsītkāśidarśane | ato lolārka ityākhyā kāśyāṃ jātā vivasvataḥ
काशी के दर्शन से जब उस सूर्य (विवस्वान्) का मन चंचल और उत्कंठित हो उठा, तब काशी में वह ‘लोलार्क’ नाम से प्रसिद्ध हुआ।
Skanda (deduced: Kāśī-khaṇḍa context, Skanda to Agastya)
Tirtha: Lolārka (Sūrya-tīrtha/shrine in Kāśī)
Type: ghat
Scene: Vivasvat (the Sun-god) beholds the luminous city of Kāśī; his mind becomes ‘lolam’ (restless/eager), and the shrine-name Lolārka is born from this moment.
The very sight of Kāśī inspires divine longing; sacred places transform the devotee’s inner state.
Lolārka in Kāśī, introduced through the story of its name and origin.
None here; it provides the name-origin (nāma-nirukti) of Lolārka.
