भारवाहः कृतस्तेन कश्चिद्दत्त्वोचितां भृतिम् । किं बहूक्तेन घटज काशी प्राप्ताऽथ तेन वै
bhāravāhaḥ kṛtastena kaściddattvocitāṃ bhṛtim | kiṃ bahūktena ghaṭaja kāśī prāptā'tha tena vai
ລາວໄດ້ຈ້າງຄົນແບກເຄື່ອງຜູ້ໜຶ່ງ ແລະ ຈ່າຍຄ່າຈ້າງໃຫ້ຢ່າງເໝາະສົມ. ໂອ ທ່ານຜູ້ເກີດຈາກຫມໍ້, ຈະຕ້ອງເວົ້າຫຍັງໃຫ້ຫຼາຍຄວາມອີກ? ໃນທີ່ສຸດ ລາວກໍໄດ້ເດີນທາງມາຮອດເມືອງກາຊີ.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya (addressed as Ghaṭaja)
Scene: A pilgrim-trader (Dhanañjaya) on the road to Kāśī hires a porter, pays him fairly, and the city’s sacred horizon is implied as the journey’s goal.
Even ordinary actions—work, payment, travel—become purposeful when oriented toward reaching Kāśī, the Purāṇic city of liberation.
Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), the central sacred landscape of the Kāśīkhaṇḍa.
No explicit rite is prescribed here; the verse emphasizes the journey and righteous conduct (fair wages) on the way to Kāśī.
