योषिद्वा पुरुषो वापि चित्रघंटां न योर्चयेत् । काश्यां विघ्नसहस्राणि तं सेवंते पदेपदे
yoṣidvā puruṣo vāpi citraghaṃṭāṃ na yorcayet | kāśyāṃ vighnasahasrāṇi taṃ sevaṃte padepade
عورت ہو یا مرد، جو کاشی میں چترگھنٹا دیوی کی پوجا نہیں کرتا، اس کے ہر قدم پر ہزاروں رکاوٹیں ساتھ لگ جاتی ہیں۔
Skanda (deduced: Kāśī Khaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Citraghaṇṭā (Kāśī)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A pilgrim in Kāśī ignores the Citraghaṇṭā shrine; the path ahead fills with symbolic obstacles—tangled vines, closed gates, stormy steps—until the pilgrim turns back to worship.
Kāśī’s sacred path is to be walked with proper devotion; neglecting the local deity’s worship invites repeated impediments.
Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), with emphasis on the shrine/cult of Citraghaṇṭā.
Worship (arcana) of Citraghaṇṭā as an obstacle-removing observance for pilgrims.
