The Description of Kāśī (Kāśī-māhātmya): Avimukta, Kapālamocana, and Śiva’s Purification
प्रयांति शिवलोकं वैजरामृत्युविवर्जितम् । बहुपुण्ययुताः संतो निवसंत्तयत्र नीरुजः ॥ ६५ ॥
prayāṃti śivalokaṃ vaijarāmṛtyuvivarjitam | bahupuṇyayutāḥ saṃto nivasaṃttayatra nīrujaḥ || 65 ||
他们前往湿婆之界,那是远离衰老与死亡的国土。具足广大福德的善人居于其中,无病无苦。
Narada (as narrator within the Uttara-Bhaga tirtha-mahatmya discourse)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta (peace)
It states the phala (result) of great merit: attainment of Śiva-loka, portrayed as a perfected realm beyond decay, death, and affliction—indicating a superior post-mortem state granted by dharma and punya.
Though it does not explicitly name bhakti, it aligns with Purāṇic teaching that sincere virtue and sacred observances performed with devotion lead to divine realms; here, the merit-bearing “santo” attain Śiva’s abode.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is phala-śruti logic—actions/observances that generate punya are said to yield defined spiritual results.
