Rồi với tấm chăn len xứ Nepal và cả đất sét đã được tịnh hóa, chàng đặt phần di hài của mẹ vào một hộp đồng—ôi, người thương nhân ấy!
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Gaṅgā (goal)
Type: river
Scene: Dhanaṃjaya prepares a copper casket; he lines/encases the relic bundle with purified clay and a Nepal wool blanket, then seals it carefully for travel; the scene highlights humble yet meticulous care.
Careful, respectful handling of the departed is dharma; even ordinary householders (like a merchant) can perform sacred duty with devotion.
The verse supports the Gaṅgā-directed sacred journey found in the surrounding narrative; Kāśī remains the broader textual setting.
Covering with a blanket, applying purified clay, and placing the remains in a copper container.
