तांबूलरागाने लालसर ओठांची, द्राक्षास्तबकासारख्या सुस्तनांची; लवलीवल्लीसारख्या भुजांची आणि कंकोलीच्या कोवळ्या पल्लवासारख्या बोटांची—अशी त्या (दिशेची) कल्पना केली जाते।
Skanda (deduced from Kāśīkhaṇḍa default dialogue-frame, verse-context narration)
Scene: A quarter is envisioned as a richly adorned woman: betel-reddened lips, grape-cluster breasts, creeper-like arms, and tender shoot-like fingers—an allegory of dawn’s delicate flourishing.
Sacred time is depicted as intrinsically auspicious and beautiful, encouraging a refined, worshipful mindset.
The Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s Kāśī setting frames the hymn-like praise; this verse itself is descriptive rather than locational.
None directly; the sensuous imagery parallels pūjā adornments and the cultivation of sattvic aesthetic devotion.
