मणिकुंडं तदग्रे तु विषव्याधिहरं परम् । तस्मिन्कुंडे कृतस्नानस्तं नागं परिवीक्ष्य च
maṇikuṃḍaṃ tadagre tu viṣavyādhiharaṃ param | tasminkuṃḍe kṛtasnānastaṃ nāgaṃ parivīkṣya ca
त्याच्या पुढे मणि-कुंड आहे, जे विषामुळे होणाऱ्या व्याधींचे परम निवारण करणारे आहे. त्या कुंडात स्नान करून आणि त्या नागाचे दर्शन घेऊन—
Skanda (deduced, Kāśīkhaṇḍa context: Skanda to Agastya)
Tirtha: Maṇi-kuṇḍa
Type: kund
Listener: Kumbhaja (Agastya)
Scene: A jewel-like pond (Maṇi-kuṇḍa) gleams; pilgrims bathe while a radiant nāga with a gem on its hood watches; the atmosphere suggests healing from venom and fear.
Kāśī’s tīrthas are depicted as remedial and purifying—healing poison-born afflictions while directing the devotee toward reverent darśana.
Maṇi-kuṇḍa in Kāśī, located before the Nāga Maṇipradīpa, famed for removing poison-related diseases.
Bathe (snāna) in Maṇi-kuṇḍa and then behold (darśana) the Nāga Maṇipradīpa.
