यत्रास्ते श्रीपतिः साक्षात्सर्वेषामभयप्रदः । ततस्तु षोडशगुणः कैलासोऽस्ति शिवालयः
yatrāste śrīpatiḥ sākṣātsarveṣāmabhayapradaḥ | tatastu ṣoḍaśaguṇaḥ kailāso'sti śivālayaḥ
Tại đó, Śrīpati (Viṣṇu) đích thân ngự, ban sự vô úy cho muôn loài. Vượt lên trên nữa, cao gấp mười sáu lần, là Kailāsa—thánh cư của Śiva.
Skanda
Tirtha: Kailāsa (as Śiva-dhāma) / Vaikuṇṭha (as Viṣṇu-dhāma)
Type: peak
Listener: Pilgrim-audience within the text (general)
Scene: Two-tier celestial tableau: Vaikuṇṭha with Śrīpati radiating ‘abhaya’, and above it the snow-bright Kailāsa peak as Śiva’s luminous abode.
It presents a graded sacred cosmos while affirming divine protection (abhaya) and the exalted status of Śiva’s Kailāsa.
Kailāsa is highlighted as Śiva’s supreme abode; within the Kāśī narrative, this supports the greatness of Śiva-centered liberation theology.
No explicit ritual is given; the focus is on theological geography and divine abodes.
