Notes:
Ṛśi-s ##R^iShayaH## narrate their experience resulting from receiving the Nectareous Stories of Kāśī ##kAshIkathAsudhA## from Sūta ##sUta##; who in turn tells them that such interest in Kāśī ##kAshI## and stories related to it occurs only due to Grace of Śiva (Śivānugraha ##shivAnugraha##). He further reveals that Kāśī ##kAshI## is an embodiment of Śiva ##shiva## Himself.##
