Skanda
Tirtha: Dvitīya-āvaraṇa Aṣṭa-Vināyaka (Kāśī)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pilgrimage audience
Scene: A schematic yet devotional depiction of Kāśī as a mandala with a second ring containing eight Vināyakas at nodes; residents/pilgrims circumambulate, obstacles depicted as dark forms dissolving at the ring’s boundary.
Kāśī’s sanctity is safeguarded by structured divine protection; aligning with it removes accumulated obstacles on the path of dharma.
Kāśī’s dvitīya-āvaraṇa—its second sacred protective circuit—where eight Vināyakas are installed.
Implicitly, honoring these Vināyakas within the circuit; the verse chiefly states their function of obstacle-removal.
