کچھ جگہوں پر اس نے تریدنڈی سنیاسی دیکھے—بے تعلق اور بے ملکیت—جن کے پاس بس ایک ڈنڈا، ایک ٹوکری اور پانی کا برتن ہی تھا۔
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa narrative typically Skanda to Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Purāṇic audience in the frame dialogue
Scene: A quiet lane near Kāśī ghāṭas where tridaṇḍin ascetics walk or stand—each with a triple staff, a small basket, and a water-pot—faces calm, eyes lowered, moving without haste amid temple spires.
True holiness is marked by non-attachment (niḥsaṅga) and minimalism (niṣparigraha), especially in a sacred place like Kāśī.
Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), depicted as a living landscape of renunciant Dharma.
No formal rite is stated; the ‘prescription’ is ethical-spiritual: restraining possessions and cultivating detachment.
