कारणं कारणानां च जगद्योनिं च तं परम् । विधिर्विलोकयांचक्रे तपसागोचरीकृतम्
kāraṇaṃ kāraṇānāṃ ca jagadyoniṃ ca taṃ param | vidhirvilokayāṃcakre tapasāgocarīkṛtam
Yang Tertinggi itu—sebab bagi segala sebab dan rahim jagat—Brahmā (Vidhi) menatap-Nya, setelah dijadikan dapat dicapai oleh persepsinya melalui tapas.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tapas refines perception so the Supreme Cause—source of the cosmos—becomes directly knowable.
Kāśī remains the implied sacred context, presenting liberation-knowledge as its distinctive glory.
Tapas (austerity/discipline) is the implied spiritual practice, though no specific vrata or rite is detailed.
