यस्य दर्शनमात्रेण पूतात्मा जायते नरः । पापकंचुकमुत्सृज्य स वसेत्पावने पुरे
yasya darśanamātreṇa pūtātmā jāyate naraḥ | pāpakaṃcukamutsṛjya sa vasetpāvane pure
جس کے محض دیدار سے انسان کی روح پاک ہو جاتی ہے۔ گناہ کی چادر اتار کر وہ پاؤَن (پاک کرنے والے) کے شہر میں سکونت اختیار کرے۔
Narrator voice within Kāśīkhaṇḍa (deduced as Skanda)
Tirtha: Pavaneśvara
Type: temple
Scene: A pilgrim approaches Pavaneśvara; upon darśana, a dark ‘cloak’ symbolizing sin falls away, revealing a luminous, calm countenance; the lanes of Kāśī and a small shrine frame the transformation.
Darśana of the Kāśī-liṅga is itself purificatory; liberation begins by shedding sin through contact with the sacred presence.
Pavaneśvara in Kāśī/Vārāṇasī, praised as a purifier whose darśana cleanses the soul.
Darśana (visiting/seeing the deity) and residing in the holy city are implied as observances.
