ज्येष्ठस्थानं ततः काश्यां तदाभूदपि पुण्यदम् । तत्र लिंगं समभवत्स्वयं ज्येष्ठेश्वराभिधम्
jyeṣṭhasthānaṃ tataḥ kāśyāṃ tadābhūdapi puṇyadam | tatra liṃgaṃ samabhavatsvayaṃ jyeṣṭheśvarābhidham
پھر کاشی میں ‘جَیَیشٹھَستان’ نام کا ایک مقدس مقام ظاہر ہوا جو عظیم پُنّیہ بخشنے والا تھا۔ وہاں خودبخود ایک لِنگ پرकट ہوا، جو ‘جَیَیشٹھیشور’ کے نام سے مشہور ہوا۔
Skanda (deduced: Kāśī-khaṇḍa context, Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Jyeṣṭhasthāna (Jyeṣṭheśvara)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A sacred quarter of Kāśī: a newly self-manifest liṅga rising from the earth/stone base, surrounded by lamps, bilva leaves, and astonished devotees; the city’s dense lanes and ghāṭa atmosphere implied in the background.
Kāśī contains self-manifest Śiva-presences; merely knowing and honoring such a sthala is itself merit-giving.
Jyeṣṭhasthāna in Kāśī, where the svayaṃbhū liṅga named Jyeṣṭheśvara appeared.
No specific rite is prescribed here; the verse establishes the origin and sanctity of the liṅga and place.
