ایک سہیلی نے پانی میں تر کیے ہوئے کپڑوں سے اس کے بدن کو ڈھانپ دیا؛ پھر دوسریوں نے کافور کے سفوف سے تیار کیے ہوئے لیپ اس پر عقیدت سے ملے۔
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Listener: Śaunaka and sages (typical frame)
Scene: A group of attendants gently wrap a heat-stricken lady in water-moistened cloth while others apply pale camphor paste; the atmosphere is cool, fragrant, and intimate, suggesting a chamber near a sacred city.
Care for the suffering should be practical and tender—reducing distress through appropriate, sattvic remedies.
Kāśī is the overarching sacred geography; no specific tīrtha is identified in this verse.
Anointing with camphor paste is described as a soothing measure, not as a prescribed vrata or yajña.
