रम्या पुरी भवेदेषा ब्रह्मांडादखिलादपि । परिष्टुत्येति दुर्वासाश्चेतोवृत्तिमवाप ह
ramyā purī bhavedeṣā brahmāṃḍādakhilādapi | pariṣṭutyeti durvāsāścetovṛttimavāpa ha
यह पुरी समस्त ब्रह्माण्ड से भी अधिक रमणीय है—ऐसा स्तवन करके मुनि दुर्वासा ने चित्त की नई वृत्ति प्राप्त की।
Skanda (deduced Kāśīkhaṇḍa narration, typically to Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka and the Naimiṣāraṇya sages (standard frame)
Scene: Durvāsā stands within luminous Kāśī, palms joined in praise; the cityscape glows with ghāṭas, temples, and a subtle aura suggesting a shift in his mind.
Sincere praise of Kāśī’s sanctity refines the mind and turns it toward liberation-oriented awareness.
Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), celebrated as uniquely delightful and spiritually supreme.
None explicitly; the verse highlights stuti (praise) as a devotional act that transforms consciousness.
