agnistaṃbha jalastaṃbha vākstaṃbhaṃ cāpyaśikṣayat | khecarītvaṃ dadau kācidadṛśyatvaṃ parā dadau
Nàng còn truyền dạy phép agni-stambha, jala-stambha và vāk-stambha—làm dừng lửa, dừng nước và dừng lời. Một người ban năng lực khecarītvā (đi lại giữa hư không), người khác ban phép tàng hình.
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis (frame, not explicit in verse)
Scene: A powerful woman demonstrates stambhana: flames halt mid-air, water stands still, a speaker’s mouth falls silent; another grants khecarī—an adept poised above ground; another cloaks a figure in invisibility, leaving only footprints on ghat steps.
The text acknowledges formidable powers, but within Purāṇic dharma such powers are secondary to right conduct and the liberating sanctity associated with Kāśī.
Kāśī-kṣetra broadly; this verse does not specify a named tīrtha.
None; it states that such techniques were taught/bestowed without giving practice details.
