हरिणा नैव विध्यंते हरिनामांशधारिणः । तस्य राज्ञो भयाद्व्याधैररण्यसुखचारिणः

جو ہری نام کا ذرا سا حصہ بھی دھارن کرتے ہیں، انہیں ہرن نہیں مارتے؛ کیونکہ اس بادشاہ (ہری) کے خوف سے جنگل میں بےفکری سے گھومنے والے شکاری بھی ہاتھ روک لیتے ہیں۔
Skanda (deduced; Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra (protective field of Hari-nāma)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee walking near forest-edge or outskirts, softly repeating Hari’s name; deer pass unharmed; hunters with bows lower their weapons, as if restrained by fear of the unseen King Hari.
Hari-nāma is portrayed as a protective spiritual ‘mark’—even a small connection to the Name brings fearlessness and safeguarding.
The theme belongs to Kāśī’s Māhātmya framework, though the imagery is forest-based and illustrative rather than site-specific.
Implied is adopting and maintaining Hari-nāma—through japa, kīrtana, or devotional identity—rather than a material ritual.
