अन्यत्र यत्कृतं पापं तत्काश्यां परिणश्यति । वाराणस्यां कृतं पापमंतर्गेहे प्रणश्यति
anyatra yatkṛtaṃ pāpaṃ tatkāśyāṃ pariṇaśyati | vārāṇasyāṃ kṛtaṃ pāpamaṃtargehe praṇaśyati
अन्यत्र कृतं पापं काश्यां आगत्य विनश्यति। वाराणस्यां कृतं पापं तु अन्तर्गेहे एव प्रणश्यति॥
Śiva
Kāśī purifies pilgrims, yet it also demands higher accountability: wrongdoing within the sacred city is not to be taken lightly.
Kāśī/Vārāṇasī itself, praised for pāpa-nāśa while warning about conduct within the kṣetra.
No explicit rite; the verse functions as a moral-ritual warning: seek purification in Kāśī, but avoid sin within Vārāṇasī and correct oneself inwardly.
