अवश्यं ज्ञानवापी सा नाम्ना भवितुमर्हति । चित्रं चित्रगतापीह या तव ज्ञानदायिनी
avaśyaṃ jñānavāpī sā nāmnā bhavitumarhati | citraṃ citragatāpīha yā tava jñānadāyinī
یقیناً وہ ‘جْنان واپی’ کے نام کی مستحق ہے۔ یہ کیسا عجیب ہے—یہاں محض ایک کنواں ہو کر بھی وہ تمہیں گیان عطا کرنے والی ہے۔
Kalāvatī’s attendants (marveling at the tīrtha)
Tirtha: Jñānavāpī
Type: kund
Scene: A luminous well whose waters seem to glow with insight; Kalāvatī is shown receiving ‘knowledge’ as a subtle radiance rising from the water, while attendants watch in awe.
Sacred places are not ordinary geography: a tīrtha can become a direct instrument of jñāna, transforming perception and life-direction.
Jñānavāpī in Kāśī (Vārāṇasī).
No explicit rite; the verse underscores the merit and marvel of Jñānavāpī as knowledge-giving, encouraging pilgrimage and darśana.
