Scene: Citragupta, serene and sharp-eyed, stands with an immense ledger that symbolically contains the deeds of all beings; Yama watches, awaiting the report.
No deed is lost; the cosmic record of karma is complete and impartial.
Kāśī is the overarching sacred geography of the Kāśīkhaṇḍa, though this verse highlights karmic record-keeping rather than a particular tīrtha.
None; the verse establishes Citragupta’s authority as the knower of actions.
