A brief glorification of Kāśi kṣetra according to the Yoginītantra

śāktaṃ vā vaiṣṇavaṃ vāpi śaivaṃ vānyaṃ tathā punaḥ ॥ 11
vārāṇasyāṃ japed yo hi māsatrayaṃ varānane ।
prātaḥkālaṃ samārambha yāvanmadhyandinaṃ bhavet ॥ 12
avaśyaṃ mantrasiddhiḥ syāt satyameva susiddhide ।
nirvāṇaṃ tasya deveśi tvavaśyaṃ jāyate śive ॥ 13
mahāśmaśānaṃ deveśi ānandakānanaṃ tathā ।
avimuktaṃ mahādevi tathā gaurīmukhaṃ punaḥ ॥ 14
vārāṇasī mahākṣetraṃ kālīrūpaṃ parātparam ।
tatra yad yat kṛtaṃ devi kiṃ tasya kathayāmi te ॥ 15
