विपन्नानां च जंतूनां यत्र विश्वेश्वरः स्वयम् । कर्णे जापं प्रकुरुते कर्मनिर्मूलन क्षमम्
vipannānāṃ ca jaṃtūnāṃ yatra viśveśvaraḥ svayam | karṇe jāpaṃ prakurute karmanirmūlana kṣamam
“Tại đó, vì các hữu tình khốn khổ, chính Viśveśvara tự mình truyền mantra vào tai—đủ năng lực nhổ bật nghiệp (karma) tận gốc.”
Bhagavān (continuing the Dhruva dialogue context)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Dhruva (context)
Scene: Within a quiet Kāśī chamber near the ghāṭs, a distressed or dying being lies attended; Viśveśvara’s compassionate presence (anthropomorphic Śiva or luminous liṅga) leans close to whisper a mantra into the ear; karmic bonds depicted as dark vines dissolving.
Divine grace at Kāśī is described as immediately transformative—capable of cutting the roots of karmic bondage.
Kāśī/Vārāṇasī, where Viśveśvara is said to grant ear-whispered liberation-mantra.
Karṇe-jāpa (ear-whispered mantra/japa), associated with liberation in Kāśī.
