அவள் காசி அரசனின் மகளாகப் பிறந்து ‘சுந்தரி’ என்ற பெயரால் புகழ்பெற்றாள். முன்அப்யாசத்தின் பலனால் அந்தக் கல்யாணி பரம சதியாக விளங்கினாள்.

Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Internal audience of the khāṇḍa’s dialogue frame (unspecified here)
Scene: A noble birth scene in Kāśī: the royal palace near the Gaṅgā, the infant named Sundarī, with subtle signs of innate devotion—Śiva symbols, calm gaze, auspicious omens.
Past devotional impressions (pūrvābhyāsa) carry forward, shaping a virtuous life and continued Śiva-oriented dharma.
Kāśī (Vārāṇasī) is invoked as a sacred royal birthplace, reinforcing its purāṇic sanctity.
No explicit rite; the verse highlights continuity of merit and virtue across births.
