आज्ञातं कारणं तच्च स्मृतं वाक्यं सुभाषितम् । काशीमुद्दिश्य यद्गीतं मुनिभिस्तत्त्वदर्शिभिः
ājñātaṃ kāraṇaṃ tacca smṛtaṃ vākyaṃ subhāṣitam | kāśīmuddiśya yadgītaṃ munibhistattvadarśibhiḥ
Nguyên do ấy đã được hiểu rõ, và lời nói thiện mỹ kia được ghi nhớ—do các bậc hiền triết thấy chân lý cất lên, hướng về Kāśī.
Unnamed sage (context: speaking to Lopāmudrā)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A circle of tattvadarśin sages seated on the Ganga’s bank, reciting a remembered maxim about Kāśī; palm-leaf manuscripts, sacrificial fires, and the city’s temples in the distance; the ‘cause’ is being pointed out like a revealed thread.
Kāśī’s dharma is upheld by the testimony of realized sages; tradition (smṛti) preserves truths about sacred geography.
Kāśī, explicitly.
None; it introduces an authoritative maxim about Kāśī.
