Śiva (Hara)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka and other Ṛṣis (contextual)
Scene: A protective tableau: a radiant divine figure (speaker) vows to discipline the hostile while extending a liberating boon to Viṣṇu’s devotees, shown as humble pilgrims with folded hands receiving a beam of light signifying nirvāṇa/mokṣa.
Devotees are spiritually safeguarded; divine justice restrains hostility, while devotion is rewarded with liberation.
Kāśī is the overarching sacred setting in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa, where liberation (nirvāṇa) is repeatedly praised.
No specific rite is listed; the verse emphasizes bhakti as the qualifying principle for grace and liberation.
