naimiṣāddevadevotra brahmāvartena saṃyutaḥ | tatrāṃśamātraṃ saṃsthāpya kāśyāmāvirabhūdvibho
Mula sa Naimiṣa dumating dito ang Diyos ng mga diyos, na kaugnay ng Brahmāvarta. Doon, matapos itatag ang isang bahagi lamang ng Kanyang sarili, ang Makapangyarihan ay nagpakita sa Kāśī.
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī (as manifestation-site of Deva-deva’s aṃśa)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A cosmic travel scene: from a forest-sacrifice setting of Naimiṣa and the dharmic plain of Brahmāvarta, a radiant ‘Deva-deva’ presence moves toward Kāśī; a small luminous ‘aṃśa’ is placed like a seed of light, from which Kāśī’s skyline and ghats emerge.
Kāśī is portrayed as a direct theater of divine presence, where the Lord’s manifestation sanctifies the landscape and makes it a living tīrtha.
The Brahmāvarta-associated sacred zone in Kāśī, linked to Naimiṣa and the Lord’s manifestation.
No explicit rite is commanded; the verse explains the theological origin of the site’s sanctity (āvirbhāva/manifestation).
