सर्वत्रशुभजन्मिन्यां काश्यां मुक्तिः पदेपदे । तथापि सविशेषं हि तत्पीठं सर्वसिद्धिकृत्
sarvatraśubhajanminyāṃ kāśyāṃ muktiḥ padepade | tathāpi saviśeṣaṃ hi tatpīṭhaṃ sarvasiddhikṛt
کاشی میں—جہاں ہر جگہ شُبھتا جنم لیتی ہے—ہر قدم پر مکتی ہے؛ پھر بھی وہ خاص پیٹھ نہایت ممتاز ہے، کیونکہ وہ ہر طرح کی سدھی عطا کرتا ہے۔
Skanda (narration to Agastya, inferred from Kāśī Khaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta) with the ‘special pīṭha’ (context: Pañcamudrā-pīṭha)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Not explicit in the excerpt
Scene: A panoramic Kāśī cityscape where every lane glows with auspicious light; within it, one radiant pīṭha shines brighter, drawing pilgrims like a magnet of siddhi.
Kāśī is intrinsically liberating, yet certain pīṭhas within it are described as concentrated sources of grace and siddhi.
Kāśī in general, and a specific pīṭha (contextually the Pañcamudrā seat) as uniquely “sarva-siddhi-kṛt.”
Implied pīṭha-sevā (service/visitation of the sacred seat), though no detailed rite is specified in this verse.
