说罢，造物主韦陀诃（梵天）隐没不见。她亦抖落诸垢，罪障尽除，回到林居草庵，归依其父韦陀希罗。

FAQs
Divine grace removes karmic stain (kalmaṣa), restoring a being to purity—central to the Purāṇic promise of tīrtha and blessing.
The verse continues the Kāśī-māhātmya setting where sanctity is conferred; the focus is on purification rather than naming a single tīrtha.
None explicitly; the emphasis is on the fruit (sin-removal) achieved through Brahmā’s boon.
