घंटाकर्ण ह्रदे स्नात्वा दृष्ट्वा व्यासेश्वरं विभुम् । यत्र कुत्र विपन्नोपि वाराणस्यां मृतो भवेत्
ghaṃṭākarṇa hrade snātvā dṛṣṭvā vyāseśvaraṃ vibhum | yatra kutra vipannopi vārāṇasyāṃ mṛto bhavet
Tắm tại hồ Gaṇṭākarṇa và chiêm bái Vyāseśvara oai nghiêm, dẫu gặp tai ương nơi đâu, rốt cuộc người ấy vẫn được chết tại Vārāṇasī như một kết cuộc cát tường.
Skanda (deduced from Kāśīkhaṇḍa dialogue context)
Tirtha: Gaṇṭākarṇa-hrada
Type: kund
Listener: Agastya (Kumbhaja)
Scene: Pilgrims bathe in a serene lake named Gaṇṭākarṇa; nearby stands the Vyāseśvara shrine. A subtle destiny-thread leads from the lake to the ghāṭs of Kāśī, symbolizing the promised sacred death.
Kāśī’s tīrthas and liṅgas are described as conferring protective grace and an auspicious culmination of life.
