प्रमथेषु प्रविष्टेषु मायावीर्यमहत्स्वपि । अहमेव प्रविष्टोस्मि वाराणस्यां न संशयः
pramatheṣu praviṣṭeṣu māyāvīryamahatsvapi | ahameva praviṣṭosmi vārāṇasyāṃ na saṃśayaḥ
Dẫu các Pramatha đã nhập vào với uy lực māyā và sức mạnh lớn lao, nhưng chính ta mới là kẻ đã vào Vārāṇasī—không hề nghi ngờ.
Śiva (Sthāṇu), reported by Skanda
Tirtha: Vārāṇasī / Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A declaration of certainty: despite gaṇas entering with māyā-bala, it is Śiva himself who has entered Vārāṇasī—emphasizing divine immanence.
Kāśī’s holiness is grounded not merely in attendants or rituals, but in Śiva’s own direct indwelling presence.
Vārāṇasī/Kāśī itself is explicitly glorified as the city entered and pervaded by Śiva.
None; it is a theological affirmation of Śiva’s immanence in Kāśī.
