स्कंद उवाच । पुनर्विशेषं वक्ष्यामि सदाचारस्य कुंभज । यं श्रुत्वापि नरो धीमान्नाज्ञानतिमिरं विशेत्
skaṃda uvāca | punarviśeṣaṃ vakṣyāmi sadācārasya kuṃbhaja | yaṃ śrutvāpi naro dhīmānnājñānatimiraṃ viśet
ਸਕੰਦ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ: ਹੇ ਕੁੰਭਜ (ਅਗਸਤ੍ਯ)! ਮੈਂ ਸਦਾਚਾਰ ਦੇ ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ ਭੇਦ ਫਿਰ ਦੱਸਾਂਗਾ; ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਸੁਣ ਕੇ ਵੀ ਬੁੱਧਿਮਾਨ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਅਜ੍ਞਾਨ ਦੇ ਅੰਧਕਾਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਪ੍ਰਵੇਸ਼ ਕਰਦਾ।
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Kumbhaja (Agastya)
Scene: Skanda, radiant and youthful, addresses Agastya (Kumbhaja) seated in attentive posture; a symbolic lamp or sunbeam dispels a dark veil behind them, representing ignorance removed by instruction.
Right conduct (sadācāra), properly understood, dispels ignorance and supports clear spiritual discernment.
The teaching is situated in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa, reinforcing Kāśī as a premier landscape for dharma and liberating knowledge.
This verse is introductory; it announces further detailed instruction rather than prescribing a specific ritual.
