yāsyāmi kāśīmāyāhi māyāṃ hitvā tvamapyaho | iti tena saha tvāṣṭro muninātikṛpālunā
“میں کاشی جا رہا ہوں—تم بھی آؤ، ہائے، مایا (موہ) کو چھوڑ کر!” یوں کہہ کر، اس نہایت مہربان مُنی کے ساتھ تواشٹر بھی روانہ ہوا۔
Tapasvī (first half); Narrator voice (second half)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Internal story addressee (not specified)
Scene: A decisive departure: the speaker urges, 'I go to Kāśī—come too, abandoning māyā'; Tvāṣṭra sets out with the very compassionate sage.
Pilgrimage is paired with inner renunciation—abandoning māyā (delusive attachment) while moving toward a liberating sacred center.
Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), presented as the destination worthy of immediate departure.
No formal rite; it prescribes a mindset for pilgrimage—‘māyāṃ hitvā’ (renounce delusion) while going to Kāśī.
