tāni kṣaṇātsamutkṣipya kāśīsaṃstho'mṛtobhavet | tasyāṃ vedāṃtavedyasya nididhyāsanato vinā
Chỉ trong khoảnh khắc quăng bỏ (gánh nặng nghiệp) ấy, người an trú tại Kāśī liền thành bất tử. Nơi đó, dù không có nididhyāsana—sự quán niệm thâm sâu về Thực Thể được Vedānta chỉ bày—…
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya (Kumbhaja)
Scene: A pilgrim in Kāśī is shown shedding dark, weighty karmic bonds that dissolve instantly in the radiance of Avimukteśvara; distant ghāṭas and the Gaṅgā shimmer as a symbol of deathlessness.
Kāśī is portrayed as so liberative that karmic burdens are cast off swiftly, and liberation is accessible even without the hardest contemplative disciplines.
Kāśī as a liberating kṣetra (not a single tank/ghāṭ), emphasizing the fruit of residing there.
No specific ritual; a spiritual principle is taught—abiding in Kāśī itself is presented as transformative.
