उभाभ्यां शिवशक्तिभ्या युवाभ्यां निजलीलया । उत्पादिता क्रियाशक्तिस्ततः सर्वमिदं जगत्
ubhābhyāṃ śivaśaktibhyā yuvābhyāṃ nijalīlayā | utpāditā kriyāśaktistataḥ sarvamidaṃ jagat
由你们二者——湿婆与圣力——凭你们自身的神圣戏游,生起了行动之力(kriyā-śakti);由此,这整个宇宙得以显现。
Skanda (deduced from Kāśīkhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A cosmic tableau: Śiva and Śakti as a unified divine pair emanating a radiant stream labeled kriyā-śakti, from which galaxies, rivers, mountains, and beings unfold like a mandala.
Creation is understood as the divine play of Śiva and Śakti, with the universe arising through kriyā-śakti (the power of action).
The broader context is Kāśī (Vārāṇasī) in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa, though this verse itself is primarily cosmological rather than site-descriptive.
No direct ritual (snāna, dāna, japa, vrata) is prescribed in this verse.
