अन्यच्चात्रैव यद्वृत्तं तद्ब्रवीमि घटोद्भव । त्रिविष्टपस्य माहात्म्यं देव्यै देवेन भाषितम्
anyaccātraiva yadvṛttaṃ tadbravīmi ghaṭodbhava | triviṣṭapasya māhātmyaṃ devyai devena bhāṣitam
Dan kini, wahai Ghaṭodbhava, akan aku kisahkan satu lagi peristiwa yang berlaku di sini juga: keagungan Triviṣṭapa, sebagaimana telah dituturkan oleh Dewa kepada Dewi.
Skanda
Tirtha: Triviṣṭapa-māhātmya (as introduced; specific tīrtha name not yet stated in this verse)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya (Ghaṭodbhava)
Scene: Narrative frame: Skanda addresses Agastya; within the telling, a vision-like inset shows Śiva speaking to Devī about the greatness of Triviṣṭapa, with celestial architecture and devas listening.
Kāśī’s sanctity is validated through divine testimony—Śiva himself teaches the māhātmya to Devī.
Triviṣṭapa (likely a named sacred locale/tīrtha within Kāśī), introduced for its māhātmya.
No ritual is prescribed here; it serves as a narrative preface to the forthcoming māhātmya.
