कृतपादोदक स्नानः कृतकेशवपूजनः । वीतसंसारवसतिः काश्यामासीन्नरोत्तमः
kṛtapādodaka snānaḥ kṛtakeśavapūjanaḥ | vītasaṃsāravasatiḥ kāśyāmāsīnnarottamaḥ
جس نے پادودک میں اسنان کیا اور کیشو (کیشوَ) کی پوجا کی، وہ نر اُتم کاشی میں مقیم ہوا—سنسار کی رہائش سے آزاد ہو کر۔
Skanda (contextual continuation)
Tirtha: Pādodaka-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Scene: A pilgrim emerges from a sacred bath at Pādodaka-tīrtha, then offers flowers and tulasī to Keśava in a small shrine; behind him, Kāśī’s lanes and ghāṭas glow, suggesting a life settled in sacred residence beyond worldly pull.
Tīrtha-snān joined with devotion (pūjā) transforms one’s spiritual destiny, making Kāśī a place of release rather than bondage.
Pādodaka tīrtha in Kāśī, together with worship of Keśava.
Snāna in Pādodaka and pūjana of Keśava.
