Skanda (deduced from Kāśīkhaṇḍa context: Skanda to Agastya)
Tirtha: Maṇikarṇikā (Kāśī)
Type: ghat
Listener: null
Scene: A weary pilgrim arrives swiftly at Kāśī; at the sight of Maṇikarṇikā on the Gaṅgā, a subtle aura lifts from him—symbolizing the falling away of the threefold sufferings.
Kāśī is portrayed as a liberating sacred geography where even deep, karmically rooted suffering (tāpa-traya) dissolves upon true darśana.
Maṇikarṇikā in Vārāṇasī (Kāśī), famed in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa as a supreme purifying and liberating tīrtha.
No explicit rite is commanded here; the emphasis is on the merit of arrival and darśana (seeing) of Maṇikarṇikā.
