अन्यान्यपि च पापानि महांत्यल्पानि यानि च । क्षयंति तानि सर्वाणि काशीं प्रविशतां सताम्
anyānyapi ca pāpāni mahāṃtyalpāni yāni ca | kṣayaṃti tāni sarvāṇi kāśīṃ praviśatāṃ satām
اور پھر جو دوسرے گناہ ہیں، بڑے ہوں یا چھوٹے، وہ سب کاشی میں داخل ہونے والے نیک بندوں کے لیے مٹ جاتے ہیں۔
Mārtaṇḍa (Sūrya) (continued soliloquy context)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: Pilgrims cross a symbolic boundary into Kāśī; dark smoke-like forms of sins dissolve as they step in; the city glows with Śiva’s protective radiance.
Pilgrimage and entry into Kāśī, when aligned with righteousness, is celebrated as powerfully purifying and sin-destroying.
Kāśī (Vārāṇasī) as the supreme kṣetra; no sub-tīrtha is singled out.
The act emphasized is ‘praveśa’ (entering) Kāśī with satya/dharma; no specific dāna/snān/japa is stated in this verse.
