स्कन्द उवाच । मुने कलशजाख्यामि यत्पृष्टं तन्निशामय । विरजःसंज्ञकं पीठं यत्प्रोक्तं सर्वसिद्धिदम्
skanda uvāca | mune kalaśajākhyāmi yatpṛṣṭaṃ tanniśāmaya | virajaḥsaṃjñakaṃ pīṭhaṃ yatproktaṃ sarvasiddhidam
Skanda bersabda: Wahai muni yang lahir dari kendi (Agastya), apa yang engkau tanyakan akan aku jelaskan—dengarkanlah. Ada sebuah pīṭha suci bernama Virajā, yang diwartakan menganugerahkan segala siddhi.
Skanda
Tirtha: Virajā-pīṭha
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya
Scene: Skanda, radiant and composed, addresses Agastya; behind them a stylized map-like vision of Kāśī with a highlighted ‘Virajā-pīṭha’ as a luminous seat/altar emitting purity-light.
Attentive listening to a revealed māhātmya opens the way to understanding sacred places that confer spiritual attainments.
Viraja Pīṭha, a sanctified locus within the Kāśī region.
Niśāmana/śravaṇa—listen carefully to the māhātmya; the implied practice is darśana of the Viraja Pīṭha.
