श्रीकंठाय नमस्तुभ्यं विषकंठाय ते नमः । वैकुंठवंद्यपादाय नमोऽकुंठितशक्तये
śrīkaṃṭhāya namastubhyaṃ viṣakaṃṭhāya te namaḥ | vaikuṃṭhavaṃdyapādāya namo'kuṃṭhitaśaktaye
吉祥の喉をもつ御方よ、汝に礼拝する。毒の喉をもつ御方よ、汝に礼拝する。ヴァイクンタにおいてさえその御足が崇められる御方に礼拝し、妨げなき力をもつ汝に礼拝する。

Tirtha: Kāśī Viśvanātha kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pilgrim-audience / ṛṣi audience (frame)
Scene: Śiva with blue throat (Nīlakaṇṭha) stands serene; devas and Viṣṇu (symbolically from Vaikuṇṭha) offer reverence at his feet; aura of unstoppable power radiates outward.
Śiva transforms poison into auspiciousness and remains supreme—His power protects and uplifts devotees.
Kāśī is the overarching sacred landscape; the hymn underscores Śiva’s supremacy as Kāśī’s Lord.
None directly; it supports recitation of Śiva’s epithets in pūjā, especially Nīlakaṇṭha-themed devotion.
