श्रीविष्णुरुवाच । मुक्ताकुंडलपातेन तवाद्रितनयाप्रिय । तीर्थानां परमं तीर्थं मुक्तिक्षेत्रमिहास्तु वै
śrīviṣṇuruvāca | muktākuṃḍalapātena tavādritanayāpriya | tīrthānāṃ paramaṃ tīrthaṃ muktikṣetramihāstu vai
ଶ୍ରୀବିଷ୍ଣୁ କହିଲେ—ହେ ଅଦ୍ରିତନୟାପ୍ରିୟ, ତୁମ ମୁକ୍ତାକୁଣ୍ଡଳ ପତନରେ ଏହା ତୀର୍ଥମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ପରମ ତୀର୍ଥ ହେଉ; ଏଠାରେ ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ମୁକ୍ତିକ୍ଷେତ୍ର ହେଉ।
Viṣṇu
Tirtha: Māṇikarṇikā / Mukti-kṣetra (Kāśī)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śiva
Scene: Viṣṇu speaks a solemn boon to Śiva—beloved of Pārvatī—declaring that by the fall of the pearl-earring this place shall be the supreme tīrtha, a true field of liberation; the ghat glows with sanctity.
Kāśī’s holiness culminates in mukti; divine grace transforms a site into a liberating sacred field.
Māṇikarṇikā in Kāśī, declared the supreme tīrtha and a mukti-kṣetra.
No specific rite is stated; the verse is a proclamation of the tīrtha’s liberating status.
