तृतीयो ब्रह्मणः प्रोक्तः सृष्टिसंक्षेपसूचकः । काशीमाहात्म्यसंयुक्तश्चतुर्थः परिपठ्यते
tṛtīyo brahmaṇaḥ proktaḥ sṛṣṭisaṃkṣepasūcakaḥ | kāśīmāhātmyasaṃyuktaścaturthaḥ paripaṭhyate
تیسرا حصّہ برہما سے منسوب کہا گیا ہے، جو سَرشٹی (تخلیق) کا مختصر بیان بتاتا ہے؛ اور چوتھا حصّہ کاشی کی مہاتمیا کے ساتھ جڑا ہوا پڑھا جاتا ہے۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A transition tableau: Brahmā’s lotus-born creation motifs (cosmic waters, lotus, four-faced Brahmā) blending into a cityscape of Kāśī with ghāṭas and the Viśvanātha temple axis—showing ‘cosmos to kṣetra’.
Purāṇas teach both cosmology (creation) and sacred geography; Kāśī is singled out as a major locus of liberative merit.
Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), presented as a dedicated Māhātmya-focused division.
None in this verse; it introduces thematic divisions rather than specific rites.
