अविच्छिन्नं नवीनं च रजनीरागरंजितम् । वासः पात्रोपरि न्यस्य सूक्ष्मात्सूक्ष्मतरं परम्
avicchinnaṃ navīnaṃ ca rajanīrāgaraṃjitam | vāsaḥ pātropari nyasya sūkṣmātsūkṣmataraṃ param
برتن کے اوپر ایک نیا اور بے جوڑ کپڑا رکھا جائے، جو ہلدی اور سرخ رنگ سے رنگا ہوا ہو؛ اور وہ کپڑا نہایت باریک، انتہائی لطیف اور اعلیٰ درجے کا ہو۔
Skanda (deduced for Kāśīkhaṇḍa dialogue context)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee drapes an exceedingly fine, fresh, unbroken cloth—yellowed with turmeric and tinged red—over the vessel atop the kalaśa; the cloth catches lamplight, emphasizing delicacy and sanctity.
Outer purity and beauty in offerings—new, intact, auspiciously colored cloth—express inner reverence and careful adherence to dharma.
Kāśī remains the implied sacred setting of the Kāśīkhaṇḍa, though the verse focuses on ritual requisites.
Place a new, unbroken, finely woven cloth dyed with turmeric and red pigment upon the ritual vessel.
