संवर्तकाले संप्राप्ते जलराशिर्जलान्यपि । क्षीयंते न क्षयत्यत्र श्राद्धं सोमकुहू कृतम्
saṃvartakāle saṃprāpte jalarāśirjalānyapi | kṣīyaṃte na kṣayatyatra śrāddhaṃ somakuhū kṛtam
Khi thời saṁvartaka, lúc đại hoại (pralaya) đến, cả biển cả và mọi nguồn nước cũng suy giảm; nhưng lễ śrāddha được cử hành tại đây vào Soma–Kuhū thì không hề suy giảm.
Śiva (Devadeva)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Soma–Kuhū śrāddha-tīrtha)
Type: ghat
Listener: Inquirer within the Kāśī-māhātmya dialogue frame
Scene: A cosmic tableau: oceans receding under pralaya imagery while a small luminous Kāśī ghāṭa remains steady; a śrāddha fire-lamp and piṇḍa offerings glow as the only undiminished act amid dissolving waters.
Merit rooted in sacred place, sacred time, and dharma can be described as imperishable—outlasting even cosmic change.
Kāpilatīrtha in Kāśī, where Soma–Kuhū śrāddha is declared non-decaying.
Perform śrāddha at this tīrtha specifically during the Soma–Kuhū conjunction to obtain akṣaya fruit.
