ततः पिशंगिला तीर्थं दर्शनादपि पापहृत् । मुने ममाधिष्ठानं वै तदगस्तेऽति सिद्धिदम्
tataḥ piśaṃgilā tīrthaṃ darśanādapi pāpahṛt | mune mamādhiṣṭhānaṃ vai tadagaste'ti siddhidam
Rồi đến thánh địa (tīrtha) mang tên Piśaṃgilā; chỉ cần được thấy cũng trừ sạch tội lỗi. Hỡi bậc hiền triết, hỡi Agastya, nơi ấy thật là chốn ngự của Ta, nổi danh là nơi ban thành tựu tối thượng.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Piśaṃgilā
Type: ghat
Listener: Agastya (addressed as ‘muni’ and named)
Scene: A luminous river-ford in Kāśī; the tīrtha is shown as a threshold where sin falls away at mere sight. A subtle divine presence marks it as ‘My abode’; Agastya is evoked as the knowing sage.
In Kāśī, even darśana of a holy tīrtha is spiritually efficacious—purifying sin and leading toward higher siddhi.
Piśaṃgilā Tīrtha, presented as a highly purifying pilgrimage spot within Kāśī.
No specific rite is commanded here; the verse emphasizes the merit of darśana (visiting/seeing) the tīrtha.
