ततः पिशंगिला तीर्थं दर्शनादपि पापहृत् । मुने ममाधिष्ठानं वै तदगस्तेऽति सिद्धिदम्
tataḥ piśaṃgilā tīrthaṃ darśanādapi pāpahṛt | mune mamādhiṣṭhānaṃ vai tadagaste'ti siddhidam
پھر پِشَنگِلا نامی مقدّس تیرتھ آتا ہے؛ اس کا محض دیدار بھی گناہ دور کر دیتا ہے۔ اے مُنی، اے اگستیہ، وہ جگہ یقیناً میرا ہی آستانہ ہے، جو اعلیٰ ترین سِدھی عطا کرنے والی ہے۔
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Piśaṃgilā
Type: ghat
Listener: Agastya (addressed as ‘muni’ and named)
Scene: A luminous river-ford in Kāśī; the tīrtha is shown as a threshold where sin falls away at mere sight. A subtle divine presence marks it as ‘My abode’; Agastya is evoked as the knowing sage.
In Kāśī, even darśana of a holy tīrtha is spiritually efficacious—purifying sin and leading toward higher siddhi.
Piśaṃgilā Tīrtha, presented as a highly purifying pilgrimage spot within Kāśī.
No specific rite is commanded here; the verse emphasizes the merit of darśana (visiting/seeing) the tīrtha.
