हरिणा नैव विध्यंते हरिनामांशधारिणः । तस्य राज्ञो भयाद्व्याधैररण्यसुखचारिणः

హరినామంలో కొంత భాగమైనా ధరించినవారిని హరిణాలు (జింకలు) హానిచేయవు; ఆ రాజు (హరి) భయంతో అడవిలో సుఖంగా తిరిగే వ్యాధులు (వేటగాళ్లు) కూడా వెనుదిరుగుతారు।
Skanda (deduced; Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra (protective field of Hari-nāma)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee walking near forest-edge or outskirts, softly repeating Hari’s name; deer pass unharmed; hunters with bows lower their weapons, as if restrained by fear of the unseen King Hari.
Hari-nāma is portrayed as a protective spiritual ‘mark’—even a small connection to the Name brings fearlessness and safeguarding.
The theme belongs to Kāśī’s Māhātmya framework, though the imagery is forest-based and illustrative rather than site-specific.
Implied is adopting and maintaining Hari-nāma—through japa, kīrtana, or devotional identity—rather than a material ritual.
