कृत्वापि सर्वसंन्यासं कृत्वा पाशुपतव्रतम् । नियमेभ्यः स्खलित्वापि कुतो बिभ्यति मानवाः
kṛtvāpi sarvasaṃnyāsaṃ kṛtvā pāśupatavratam | niyamebhyaḥ skhalitvāpi kuto bibhyati mānavāḥ
Dẫu đã thực hành sự xuất ly trọn vẹn, dẫu đã thọ trì hạnh Pāśupata—cho dù có lỡ trượt khỏi giới luật và điều phục—khi có nơi nương tựa như vậy, con người cớ sao phải sợ?
Skanda (deduced; Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī Śiva-liṅga refuge (Trilocana/mahāliṅga context)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sages/pilgrims (implied)
Scene: A renunciant with staff and waterpot stands anxious after a lapse; before the liṅga, fear dissolves as a calm radiance surrounds the shrine, suggesting Śiva’s protective refuge.
Divine refuge and grace can overcome human lapses; fear diminishes when devotion is anchored in Śiva’s saving presence.
Implicitly Kāśī’s Śaiva refuge (context: Trilocana/Mahāliṅga in Kāśīkhaṇḍa).
Saṃnyāsa (renunciation) and the Pāśupata-vrata are referenced as disciplines, alongside the reality of possible lapses.
