Skanda (deduced; Kāśīkhaṇḍa narration typically Skanda to Agastya)
Tirtha: Dvādaśāditya (Twelve Ādityas) proclamation in Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pilgrims/devotees
Scene: A formal recitation of the ‘Twelve Ādityas’ chapters: a reciter on a dais, listeners gathered; above them, twelve solar forms arranged in a mandala, signifying protection from durgati.
Sacred listening and transmitting (hearing and making others hear) is dharma that yields protective merit against downfall.

Śravaṇa (hearing) and śrāvaṇa/parāyaṇa (recitation for others) of these puṇya adhyāyas.
