संख्या सागररत्नानां कथंचित्कर्तुमिष्यते । मुखवासादिदानस्य कः संख्यामत्र कारयेत्
saṃkhyā sāgararatnānāṃ kathaṃcitkartumiṣyate | mukhavāsādidānasya kaḥ saṃkhyāmatra kārayet
Alguém poderia, de algum modo, tentar contar as joias do oceano; mas quem, aqui, poderia calcular a medida do mérito que nasce de dádivas como o perfume da boca e outras semelhantes, oferecidas com devoção?
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa discourse commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī—Viśveśvara-centered dāna context
Type: kshetra
Scene: A poetic tableau: the vast ocean glittering with countless jewels, juxtaposed with a devotee offering simple mouth-fragrance items—implying the latter’s merit surpasses count.
Merit born of devoted giving in Kāśī is beyond human calculation—greater than worldly measures of wealth.
Kāśī, where such offerings are portrayed as producing immeasurable punya.
Continuing the prior context: donating items like mukhavāsa (tāmbūla/refreshments) as devotional gifts in the sacred setting.
