Ang pook na yaon ng paglalaro sa tubig ay lubhang nakalulugod sa Akin. Sa maharlikang tahanang iyon, napupuno ito ng tubig na nag-aalis ng pamamanhid at kabigatan ng puso.
Śiva
Tirtha: Jñānavāpī (jalakrīḍā-sthāna)
Type: kund
Listener: Implied interlocutor(s) in Kāśī-māhātmya frame
Scene: A ‘royal abode’ precinct around the well; the water appears dark-blue yet luminous, symbolically washing away heaviness from a devotee’s heart as Śiva’s presence sanctifies the space.
Holy places in Kāśī are portrayed as spiritually therapeutic—removing inner dullness and awakening clarity of heart.
The water-sport site associated with Jñānavāpī/Jñāna-tīrtha within Kāśī’s sacred precincts.
Engaging with the tīrtha-water (by contact/usage) is praised for dispelling jāḍya (torpor) from the heart.
