पापराशिभिराक्रांता ये दारिद्र्य पराजिताः । येषां क्वापि गतिर्नास्ति तेषां वाराणसी गतिः
pāparāśibhirākrāṃtā ye dāridrya parājitāḥ | yeṣāṃ kvāpi gatirnāsti teṣāṃ vārāṇasī gatiḥ
ଯେମାନେ ପାପରାଶିରେ ଆକ୍ରାନ୍ତ, ଯେମାନେ ଦାରିଦ୍ର୍ୟରେ ପରାଜିତ, ଯାହାଙ୍କର କେଉଁଠି ଗତି ନାହିଁ—ତାଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ବାରାଣସୀ ହିଁ ପରମ ଗତି।

Tirtha: Vārāṇasī / Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A destitute, sin-burdened pilgrim approaches the luminous city of Kāśī; Gaṅgā flows beside ghāṭs, bells ring, and the spire of Viśveśvara rises as a beacon of refuge.
Kāśī is celebrated as a place where even the burdened and destitute can find spiritual uplift and a new direction.
Vārāṇasī (Kāśī).
None directly; the emphasis is on Kāśī’s redemptive refuge rather than a specific rite.
