Type: kshetra
Scene: A pilgrim stands before Nandīśvara, then turns west toward two small shrines: Śilādeśa (stone-marked, austere) and Hiraṇyākṣeśvara (auspicious, radiant), receiving a visual metaphor of ignorance lifting and strength arising.
Pilgrimage in Kāśī is mapped as inner transformation—clarifying the intellect and gaining spiritual vigor through contact with Śiva’s liṅgas.
The western side of Nandīśvara, highlighting Śilādeśa and Hiraṇyākṣeśvara as meritorious Kāśī liṅgas.
The verse implies visiting/worshiping these liṅgas for their fruits; no detailed procedure is stated.
