श्रीशैल हिमशैलाद्या नानान्यायतनानि च । त्रिदंडधारणंचापि संन्यासः सर्वकर्मणाम्
śrīśaila himaśailādyā nānānyāyatanāni ca | tridaṃḍadhāraṇaṃcāpi saṃnyāsaḥ sarvakarmaṇām
Ang Śrīśaila, ang Himālaya, at iba pang sari-saring banal na tahanan; gayundin ang pagdadala ng tatluhang tungkod at ang ganap na pagtalikod sa lahat ng mga gawaing ritwal—(ay kinikilalang mga landas).
Skanda (deduced; Kāśī-khaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Śrīśaila; Himālaya (as tīrtha regions)
Type: peak
Listener: null
Scene: A panoramic montage: Śrīśaila’s forested hill with a Śiva shrine; the snow Himalaya with ascetics; a saṃnyāsin holding a triple staff (tridaṇḍa), symbolizing renunciation of ritual action.
Many revered paths exist—pilgrimage, ascetic insignia, and renunciation—yet the chapter’s arc will elevate Kāśī/Avimukta beyond them.
Śrīśaila and the Himālaya are mentioned as famed sacred abodes within a broader Kāśī-māhātmya comparison.
Tridaṇḍa-dhāraṇa (bearing the triple staff) and saṃnyāsa (renunciation of ritual actions).
