याम्यां पादोदकाच्छ्वेतद्वीपतीर्थं महत्तरम् । तत्राहं ज्ञानदो नृणां ज्ञानकेशवसंज्ञकः
yāmyāṃ pādodakācchvetadvīpatīrthaṃ mahattaram | tatrāhaṃ jñānado nṛṇāṃ jñānakeśavasaṃjñakaḥ
جنوب کی سمت پاؤں دھونے کے پانی سے اُبھرا ہوا نہایت عظیم شویتَدویپ تیرتھ ہے۔ وہاں میں ‘گیانکیشو’ کے نام سے لوگوں کو سچا گیان عطا کرتا ہوں۔
Skanda (deduced for Kāśīkhaṇḍa context) speaking to Agastya
Tirtha: Śvetadvīpa-tīrtha
Type: kund
Listener: Nārada (implied)
Scene: A luminous southern tīrtha named Śvetadvīpa, its waters bright and milky-white; a small shrine of Jñānakeśava stands near the ford; pilgrims collect pādodaka in vessels; the air feels cool, clarifying, and contemplative.
Pilgrimage in Kāśī is framed as a pathway to jñāna, with the deity explicitly granting spiritual insight to devotees.
Śvetadvīpa-tīrtha, described as a supremely great tīrtha in the southern quarter.
Implicitly, approaching that tīrtha and honoring Jñānakeśava there to receive jñāna.
