तपांसि नानारूपाणि व्रतानि नियमा यमाः । सिंधूनामपि संभेदा अरण्यानि बहून्यपि
tapāṃsi nānārūpāṇi vratāni niyamā yamāḥ | siṃdhūnāmapi saṃbhedā araṇyāni bahūnyapi
Austeridades de muitas formas, votos, observâncias e refreamentos; as muitas ramificações dos rios; e também numerosas florestas—(tudo isso é dito como meios).
Skanda (deduced; Kāśī-khaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Generic river-tīrthas and forest-araṇyas (not a single named site)
Type: ghat
Listener: null
Scene: A sequence of ascetics performing varied tapas in a forest hermitage; nearby, a river with pilgrims bathing; symbolic scroll listing yama-niyama and vrata as a garland of practices.
Many disciplines and sacred environments are honored, yet the surrounding passage aims to show a higher, simpler refuge in Kāśī/Avimukta.
No single tīrtha is named; it references rivers and forests broadly within the Kāśī-khaṇḍa context.
Vratas (vows), tapas (austerities), and ethical disciplines (yama-niyama) are listed.
