Notes:
Himvān ##himavAn## speaks about a hill called Gaurīśṛṅga ##gaurIshR^i~Nga## at Kāśī ##kAshI##, where Gaurī ##gaurI## created a Śivaliṅga ##shivali~Nga## called gaurIliṅga ##gaurIli~Nga## by a nearby pond, and also created a form of Gaṇeṣa ##gaNesha## called Kāśmīragaṇanāyaka ##kAshmIragaNanAyaka##. Himvān ##himavAn## further outlines the importance of worshiping the several Guardians of Kāśī ##kAshI## for being able to gain entry into Kāśī ##kAshI##; that include Kālabhairava ##kAlabhairava##, Vīreśvara ##vIreshvara##, Paśupatīśvara ##pashupatIshvara##, and Daṇḍapāṇi ##daNDapANi## - whose Grace keeps the Waters of Jñānavāpī ##j~nAnavApI## pure. He also emphasizes the worship of several forms of  Gaṇeṣa ##gaNesha##  - like Vakratuṇḍa ##vakratuNDa##, PañcaVināyaka ##pa~nchavinAyaka##, Ḍhuṇḍhirāja ##DhuNDhirAja## et al who remove the obstacles thus for the worshiper.
Kaśī ##kAshI## harbors several ŚivaTīrthaKṣetra ##shivatIrthakShetra## that are outlined in ŚivaRahasyam saptāṃśaḥ ##shivarahasyaM saptAMshaH##.##
