षष्टिवर्षसहस्राणि काशीवासेषु यत्फलम् । तत्फलं निमिषार्द्धेन कलौ दाशरथीं पुरीम्
ṣaṣṭivarṣasahasrāṇi kāśīvāseṣu yatphalam | tatphalaṃ nimiṣārddhena kalau dāśarathīṃ purīm
Công đức có được do sống ở Kāśī sáu vạn năm—thì trong thời Kali, chỉ trong nửa sát-na, nương tựa thành Ayodhyā của Daśaratha cũng đạt được đúng công đức ấy.
Varāha (deduced; Vaiṣṇavakhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā (Daśaratha-purī)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A cosmic scale of merit: on one side, Kāśī with countless years symbolized by a long scroll; on the other, Ayodhyā glowing, granting the same fruit in a blink; above, Kali-yuga shadow is pierced by Ayodhyā’s light.
Ayodhyā’s sanctity is so exalted in Kali Yuga that even brief contact with it yields immense merit.
Ayodhyā (Daśaratha’s city), compared directly with Kāśī (Vārāṇasī).
No specific rite is mandated here; the emphasis is on resorting to/being present in Ayodhyā even briefly.
