वृषभध्वज (शिव) के दक्षिण में छागवक्त्रेश्वरी देवी विराजती हैं; वे दिन-रात विघ्न-वन के कोमल पल्लवों को भक्षण करती हैं।
Skanda
Tirtha: Chāgavaktreśvarī/Chāgeśvarī śakti-sthāna (within Kāśī)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A fierce yet protective Devī with a goat-faced aspect (Chāgavaktrā), stationed south of a Śiva emblem marked by the bull-banner (Vṛṣabhadhvaja), devouring sprouting vines labeled ‘vighna’ in a dark-green forest, day and night.
The kṣetra’s Devī power continually uproots obstacles at their very beginning, safeguarding the pilgrim’s path in Kāśī.
A southern sacred spot in Kāśī associated with Chāgavaktreśvarī near a Śiva locus indicated by the epithet Vṛṣabhadhvaja.
None explicitly; the verse praises the Devī’s ceaseless protective action.
