Unspecified in snippet (catalog-style doctrinal narration within Kāśī Māhātmya)
Tirtha: Kāśī (implied remedial field)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya (broader frame)
Scene: A didactic enumeration of sins: shadowy forms representing mental, verbal, and bodily faults swirl around a devotee; a luminous liṅga or sacred text stands as the implied antidote.
Dharma is comprehensive: moral accountability includes intentional and unintentional acts, and karmic impurity can arise from mind, speech, and body.
The larger discourse belongs to Kāśī Khaṇḍa, but this verse itself is a doctrinal listing and does not name a particular tirtha.
No direct ritual is specified here; it functions as a preface to purification merits described in surrounding verses.
