அமாவாசை–சோம இணைவில் இந்த காபிலா ஓட்டத் தீர்த்தத்தில் ஸ்ராத்தம் கிடைத்து/செய்யப்பட்டால், அப்போது கயா அல்லது புஷ்கரம் எதற்கு?
Śiva (Devadeva)
Tirtha: Kāpilā-dhārā-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: Pilgrimage audience/inquirer
Scene: Kapilā-dhārā: a distinct stream/current by the Gaṅgā in Kāśī; pilgrims offer piṇḍas; in the background, symbolic vignettes of Gayā (Viṣṇupada) and Puṣkara (lake/temple) fade, implying ‘no need elsewhere’.
Kāśī’s tīrtha is exalted as equal or superior to famed pilgrimage centers for ancestor rites when śrāddha is performed at the right lunar time.
Kāpiladhārā/Kāpilatīrtha in Kāśī, associated with the Kāpilā stream.
Perform śrāddha here during the Amāvasyā–Soma conjunction for exceptional Pitṛ benefit.
