kṛtapādodaka snānaḥ kṛtakeśavapūjanaḥ | vītasaṃsāravasatiḥ kāśyāmāsīnnarottamaḥ
Sau khi tắm gội trong Pādodaka và lễ bái đức Keśava, bậc trượng phu tối thắng ấy an trú tại Kāśī, lìa khỏi chốn cư trú trong saṃsāra.
Skanda (contextual continuation)
Tirtha: Pādodaka-tīrtha
Type: ghat
Scene: A pilgrim emerges from a sacred bath at Pādodaka-tīrtha, then offers flowers and tulasī to Keśava in a small shrine; behind him, Kāśī’s lanes and ghāṭas glow, suggesting a life settled in sacred residence beyond worldly pull.
Tīrtha-snān joined with devotion (pūjā) transforms one’s spiritual destiny, making Kāśī a place of release rather than bondage.
Pādodaka tīrtha in Kāśī, together with worship of Keśava.
Snāna in Pādodaka and pūjana of Keśava.
