svargadvāḥ svargabhūreṣā mokṣabhūrmaṇikarṇikā | svargāpavargāvatraiva nopariṣṭānna cāpyadhaḥ
ມະນິກັນນິກາແມ່ນປະຕູສະຫວັນ ແມ່ນຜືນດິນແຫ່ງສະຫວັນ ແລະແມ່ນພູມແຫ່ງໂມກສະ ສະຫວັນແລະການຫຼຸດພົ້ນຢູ່ທີ່ນີ້ເອງ ບໍ່ແມ່ນຢູ່ເທິງ ແລະບໍ່ແມ່ນຢູ່ລຸ່ມທີ່ອື່ນ.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Maṇikarṇikā
Type: ghat
Scene: Maṇikarṇikā as a cosmic axis: the ghāṭ steps become a mandala; above them a radiant ‘svarga-dvāra’ and within them a luminous ‘mokṣa-bhūmi’ aura, suggesting heaven and liberation co-present in the same sacred ground.
Kāśī’s Maṇikarṇikā is extolled as a concentrated sacred geography where the fruits of heaven and liberation are immediately accessible.
Maṇikarṇikā tīrtha/ghāṭa in Kāśī (Vārāṇasī).
No single rite is specified; the verse asserts the site’s inherent status as svargadvāra and mokṣabhū, implying pilgrimage, worship, and snāna as appropriate acts.
