असीसंभेदमारभ्य गंगातीरस्थिता द्विजाः । आसंगमेश्वरात्तत्र परिप्राप्ता घटोद्भव
asīsaṃbhedamārabhya gaṃgātīrasthitā dvijāḥ | āsaṃgameśvarāttatra pariprāptā ghaṭodbhava
Bắt đầu từ nơi hợp lưu của sông Asī, các bậc dvija trú dọc bờ Gaṅgā đã đến đó từ Āsaṅgameśvara—hỡi Đấng sinh từ chiếc bình (Agastya)!
Skanda (deduced; addressing Agastya as ghaṭodbhava)
Tirtha: Asī-saṅgama (Asī-saṃbheda); Āsaṅgameśvara
Type: sangam
Listener: Agastya (Ghaṭodbhava)
Scene: At dawn on the Gaṅgā, the Asī stream meets the main river near stepped ghāṭs; brāhmaṇas line the bank with prayer gestures; a small shrine of Āsaṅgameśvara stands near the confluence; the narrator addresses Agastya (‘ghaṭodbhava’).
Kāśī is mapped as a chain of sacred nodes along the Gaṅgā; moving through them is itself a devotional pilgrimage.
Asī-saṅgama (often identified with the Assi confluence area) and Āsaṅgameśvara on the Gaṅgā’s bank in Kāśī.
No explicit ritual is stated; the verse situates pilgrims geographically along the Gaṅgā and tīrtha-route.
