भिक्षितुं नाधिगच्छामि न मे परिचितः क्वचित् । न च पार्श्वे धनं किंचित्किमत्र शरणं भवेत्
bhikṣituṃ nādhigacchāmi na me paricitaḥ kvacit | na ca pārśve dhanaṃ kiṃcitkimatra śaraṇaṃ bhavet
我连乞求的门路都找不到,处处无人相识;身边也毫无钱财——在此我还能依止何处为归依?
Skanda (narrating to Agastya, Kāśīkhaṇḍa frame)
Tirtha: Kāśī (contextual refuge-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A lone youth with an empty pouch stands near a city edge or ghat steps, looking around for help, hands open in a gesture of ‘where is refuge?’
When worldly supports collapse, the seeker is driven toward true refuge—spiritual guidance, dharma, and ultimately the sacred path celebrated in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa.
No single tīrtha is named; the verse functions within the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s Kāśī-oriented narrative arc.
None.
