Rigveda
A land named as the source of the barley sought from Indra.
whether of the day or of the gathered wealth, fill us, O Maghavan, with barley of the Kāśī land.
Vīramitrodaya
The sacred city where the Gaṅgā flows and the liṅga of Viśveśvara resides, held to give liberation especially in Kali.
> The Gaṅgā flowing north in Kāśī, and my liṅga of Viśveśvara, / > both are givers of liberation to men, when the forest fire of Kali has arrived.
> At a meritorious sacred ford, at Kurukṣetra, at the four seats of the Goddess, / > at Prayāga, on Śrīśaila, and in Kāśī, one should not examine the time, good or bad.
