अन्यान्यपि च पापानि महांत्यल्पानि यानि च । क्षयंति तानि सर्वाणि काशीं प्रविशतां सताम्
anyānyapi ca pāpāni mahāṃtyalpāni yāni ca | kṣayaṃti tāni sarvāṇi kāśīṃ praviśatāṃ satām
此外,无论还有何等罪业——大者小者——凡正直之人入于迦尸,彼等一切罪皆悉消灭。
Mārtaṇḍa (Sūrya) (continued soliloquy context)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: Pilgrims cross a symbolic boundary into Kāśī; dark smoke-like forms of sins dissolve as they step in; the city glows with Śiva’s protective radiance.
Pilgrimage and entry into Kāśī, when aligned with righteousness, is celebrated as powerfully purifying and sin-destroying.
Kāśī (Vārāṇasī) as the supreme kṣetra; no sub-tīrtha is singled out.
The act emphasized is ‘praveśa’ (entering) Kāśī with satya/dharma; no specific dāna/snān/japa is stated in this verse.
