स्कन्द उवाच । मुने कलशजाख्यामि यत्पृष्टं तन्निशामय । विरजःसंज्ञकं पीठं यत्प्रोक्तं सर्वसिद्धिदम्
skanda uvāca | mune kalaśajākhyāmi yatpṛṣṭaṃ tanniśāmaya | virajaḥsaṃjñakaṃ pīṭhaṃ yatproktaṃ sarvasiddhidam
Skanda phán: Hỡi bậc hiền triết sinh từ bình nước (Agastya), điều ngài hỏi ta sẽ giảng—hãy lắng nghe. Có một thánh tọa mang danh Virajā, được tuyên xưng là ban mọi thành tựu (siddhi).
Skanda
Tirtha: Virajā-pīṭha
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya
Scene: Skanda, radiant and composed, addresses Agastya; behind them a stylized map-like vision of Kāśī with a highlighted ‘Virajā-pīṭha’ as a luminous seat/altar emitting purity-light.
Attentive listening to a revealed māhātmya opens the way to understanding sacred places that confer spiritual attainments.
Viraja Pīṭha, a sanctified locus within the Kāśī region.
Niśāmana/śravaṇa—listen carefully to the māhātmya; the implied practice is darśana of the Viraja Pīṭha.
