Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra (general context)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Sūrya on a single-wheeled chariot (ekacakra) cutting through darkness; shadowy Mandeha demons dissolving at dawn; a beam of light revealing a scale-like motif of dharma vs adharma.
Sūrya is moral illumination itself—by his light, dharma is known and sin is dispelled.
The hymn is embedded in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s Kāśī-centered teaching tradition.
No specific ritual is detailed beyond praising/reciting these names for purification.
