कृतघ्नोपि भ्रूणहापि वृषलीपतिरेव वा । मातापितृगुरुत्यागी वह्निदो गरदोपि वा
kṛtaghnopi bhrūṇahāpi vṛṣalīpatireva vā | mātāpitṛgurutyāgī vahnido garadopi vā
కృతఘ్నుడు, భ్రూణహంతకుడు, వృషలీభర్త, తల్లి-తండ్రి-గురువులను త్యజించేవాడు, అగ్నిదాత (అగ్ని పెట్టేవాడు), అలాగే విషదాత—ఇవీ ఇక్కడ మహాపాపులలో లెక్కించబడతారు.
Skanda (deduced; Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra (contextual)

It underscores how seriously dharma treats ingratitude, harm to life, abandonment of elders/teachers, and violent crimes.
Not directly named in the verse; it functions within Kāśī’s Trilocana Liṅga glorification passage.
None in this line; it continues the catalog of mahāpāpa that Kāśī’s Śaiva grace is later said to purify.
