ହେ କାଶୀ! ଅନେକ ଜନ୍ମରେ ସଞ୍ଚିତ ମହାପାପ-ପର୍ବତ ପାଇଁ ତୁମେ ବଜ୍ର ସମ। କେବଳ ତୁମ ନାମ ଉଚ୍ଚାରଣ କଲେ ମାତ୍ର ତୁମେ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ମହାଶ୍ରେୟ, ପରମ କଲ୍ୟାଣ ଦିଅ।

Scene: A colossal dark mountain labeled ‘mahāpāpa’ cracks as a luminous thunderbolt marked ‘Kāśī-nāma’ strikes; devotees with folded hands utter the name, and light radiates toward a distant Viśveśvara shrine and Gaṅgā.
Even remembrance and utterance of Kāśī’s name is taught as a potent purifier that destroys deep-rooted sin.
Kāśī itself, praised as pāpa-hara (sin-destroying) through its very name.
Nāma-uccāra (uttering the holy name of Kāśī) is highlighted as a spiritually efficacious act.
