निमेषमात्रमपि यो ह्यविमुक्तेऽतिभक्तिभाक् । ब्रह्मचर्यसमायुक्तं तेन तप्तं महत्तपः
nimeṣamātramapi yo hyavimukte'tibhaktibhāk | brahmacaryasamāyuktaṃ tena taptaṃ mahattapaḥ
اویمُکت میں جو کوئی پلک جھپکنے بھر کے لیے بھی شدید بھکتی سے بھر جائے، اور برہمچریہ سے یُکت ہو—اس نے عظیم تپسیا کر لی۔
Skanda
Tirtha: Avimukta
Type: kshetra
Listener: muni/vipra addressed
Scene: A devotee in Avimukta, eyes half-closed for a blink, hands in añjali, a sudden surge of light from the Śiva-linga; the scene conveys instantaneous transformation—tapas igniting like a flame.
In Kāśī’s Avimukta, even brief, intense devotion—supported by self-discipline—carries the weight of profound tapas.
Avimukta-kṣetra in Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), presented as uniquely potent for devotion and austerity.
Brahmacarya (continence/regulated conduct) alongside intense bhakti in Avimukta; no other specific rite is stated.
