Narrator (Skanda to Agastya, inferred)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis (frame implied)
Scene: Gaṇas storm a sacrificial courtyard: uprooted trees dragged in, yūpa-posts torn out, and kuṇḍas filled/blocked; priests and attendants scatter as the ordered geometry of the yajña ground collapses.
External ritual structures cannot protect a sacrifice when it is divorced from reverence and right intention.
No specific Kāśī tīrtha is named; the focus is the sacrificial arena (makha) of Dakṣa’s rite.
Ritual elements are referenced (yūpa, kuṇḍa), but the verse describes their disruption, not a recommended rite.
