यत्र विश्वेश्वरः साक्षाद्यत्राऽमरधुनी स्वयम् । त्वादृशा यत्र मुनयः क्व भीस्तत्रोपसर्गजा
yatra viśveśvaraḥ sākṣādyatrā'maradhunī svayam | tvādṛśā yatra munayaḥ kva bhīstatropasargajā
Di mana Viśveśvara sendiri hadir nyata, di mana Gaṅgā yang surgawi hadir dalam wujudnya, dan di mana para muni seperti Anda bersemayam—bagaimana mungkin ada takut yang lahir dari malapetaka?
Disciples of Vyāsa
Tirtha: Viśveśvara-kṣetra in Kāśī; Gaṅgā (Amaradhunī)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Guru (a revered muni)
Scene: A devotional tableau: Viśveśvara’s temple presence, Gaṅgā flowing nearby, and venerable sages seated in meditation—forming a triad that radiates fearlessness over the city.
Divine presence (Śiva and Gaṅgā) and saintly company dissolve fear; sacred geography supports inner fearlessness.
Kāśī, especially Viśveśvara’s kṣetra and the Gaṅgā flowing there.
No explicit ritual; the verse asserts the protective, fear-dispelling power of dwelling in Kāśī.
