तपसाद्य निजेनाहं प्रेतमेतमघातुरम् । मामेव शरणं प्राप्तमुद्धरिष्याम्यसंशयम्
tapasādya nijenāhaṃ pretametamaghāturam | māmeva śaraṇaṃ prāptamuddhariṣyāmyasaṃśayam
ដោយអំណាចតបៈរបស់ខ្លួនឯង ខ្ញុំនឹងប្រាកដជាសង្គ្រោះព្រេតដែលទុក្ខវេទនានេះ—ដែលមកសុំជ្រកកោនតែខ្ញុំប៉ុណ្ណោះ—ដោយគ្មានសង្ស័យឡើយ។
Skanda (deduced; Kāśīkhaṇḍa frame typically Skanda → Agastya)
Scene: A compassionate sage, radiant with tapas, vows to rescue an afflicted preta who clings to him for refuge; Kāśī’s sacred ambience implied.
Sincere śaraṇāgati (taking refuge) and tapas-backed grace can uplift even severely afflicted beings.
The passage context points toward a Kāśī tīrtha later named Vimalodaka-saras (Vimalodaka lake/pond) within the Uttarārdha narrative.
No explicit rite here; the verse emphasizes tapas and refuge as the means of rescue.
