- यस्यामिदं कल्पितमिन्द्रजालं चराचरं भाति मनोविलासम् । सच्चित्सुखैका परमात्मरूपा सा काशिकाहं निजबोधरूपा ॥२॥
- In which this magical show of moving and unmoving things shines as the play of mind; the one Paramatman of being-consciousness-bliss: that Kashi am I, of the nature of my own awareness.
The world-appearance projected like Indra's net has no independent existence apart from consciousness. To know Kashi is to know oneself as the single reality in which the entire display arises and subsides.
