भक्ष्यते सर्वभक्ष्याणि त्र्यक्षप्रत्यक्षगान्यपि । सर्वावस्थासु सर्वत्र न स पश्येच्छिवं विना
bhakṣyate sarvabhakṣyāṇi tryakṣapratyakṣagānyapi | sarvāvasthāsu sarvatra na sa paśyecchivaṃ vinā
Maaaring kainin niya ang lahat ng uri ng pagkain—maging yaong natamo sa harapang presensya ng Tatlong-Mata—ngunit sa bawat kalagayan at saanman, wala siyang nakikita kundi si Śiva.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pilgrimage-inquirer (unspecified)
Scene: A devotee eating simple food; behind and within the scene, Śiva’s presence is subtly visible in all directions—faces, flames, water, and space—signifying uninterrupted vision of the Three-eyed Lord.
The hallmark of mature bhakti is continuous Śiva-darśana—seeing Śiva everywhere and in all situations.
Kāśī, where the devotee’s life is depicted as uninterrupted awareness of Tryakṣa.
No strict food rule is imposed here; the emphasis is on inner vision—never losing sight of Śiva.
