Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A harmonious household shrine scene: the householder offers lamp and flowers to a deity, then turns to welcome a traveler-guest with water for feet and a seat; family members share food portions fairly; a moment of forgiveness is shown by a reconciliatory gesture.
True household righteousness rests on sharing, compassion, forgiveness, and reverence toward gods and guests.
The verse belongs to Kāśī Khaṇḍa’s dharma instruction; it supports Kāśī’s ideal of sacred hospitality rather than a named tīrtha.
Honoring devatās (worship) and atithis (guest-service) as a daily dharmic duty.
