គាត់បាននិយាយទៅកាន់សាច់ញាតិរបស់យមុនា គឺយម អំពីទ្វិជជនវាហីកៈ ចាប់ពីថ្ងៃធ្វើពិធីកំណើត តទៅ គាត់បានរៀបរាប់អាកប្បកិរិយារបស់បុរសអាក្រក់នោះ—សុភមង្គលមានតិចណាស់ អសុភមង្គលមានច្រើន។
Narrator (contextual); Citragupta begins addressing Yama
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Yama (Yamunā-bandhu/Vaivasvata)
Scene: Citragupta narrates a chronological ‘scroll’ of the man’s life—birth rites, missed duties, misdeeds—while Yama listens; the soul stands diminished, head bowed.
Life is evaluated as a continuum of conduct; neglect and wrongdoing accumulate consequences.
The Kāśīkhaṇḍa context glorifies Kāśī, but this verse is part of a karmic audit narrative rather than a site description.
It references the birth-rite (jātakarma) as a marker in the life-account, without prescribing performance here.
