इति काशीसमृद्धिं स विलोक्याभूद्विलज्जितः । उवाच च मनस्येव भूधरेंद्र इदं वचः
iti kāśīsamṛddhiṃ sa vilokyābhūdvilajjitaḥ | uvāca ca manasyeva bhūdhareṃdra idaṃ vacaḥ
یوں کاشی کی خوشحالی دیکھ کر وہ شرمندہ ہو گیا؛ اور پہاڑوں کے سردار نے گویا اپنے ہی دل میں یہ کلمات کہے۔
Skanda (narration); inner speech attributed to Bhūdhareśvara/Bhūdhara-indra
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A majestic mountain-king figure (Himālaya-like personification) gazes upon Kāśī’s splendor and lowers his head in modesty; the city glows behind him while his ‘speech’ is shown as a subtle inner thought-cloud or contemplative posture.
True sacred greatness evokes humility; even the mighty feel small before Kāśī’s divine eminence.
Kāśī, whose splendor is portrayed as unrivaled.
None; the focus is devotional awe and inner transformation.
