«Esta cidade é supremamente encantadora, mais do que o universo inteiro.» Tendo-a assim louvado, o sábio Durvāsā alcançou uma nova disposição interior.
Skanda (deduced Kāśīkhaṇḍa narration, typically to Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka and the Naimiṣāraṇya sages (standard frame)
Scene: Durvāsā stands within luminous Kāśī, palms joined in praise; the cityscape glows with ghāṭas, temples, and a subtle aura suggesting a shift in his mind.
Sincere praise of Kāśī’s sanctity refines the mind and turns it toward liberation-oriented awareness.
Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), celebrated as uniquely delightful and spiritually supreme.
None explicitly; the verse highlights stuti (praise) as a devotional act that transforms consciousness.
