Kapalamochana

भैरवावतारलीलावर्णनं नाम नवमोऽध्यायः 
Bhairava incarnation and behaviour description Chapter 9



नन्दीश्वर उवाच |
Nandishwara said (to Sanatkumara)



कपालं ब्रह्मणः सद्यो भैरवस्य करांबुजात् |
पपात भुवि तत्तीर्थमभूत्कापालमोचनम् || 56 ||
Brahma's skull then fell to the ground from the lotus like hand of Bhairava. That tirtha (place of pilgrimage) became Kapalamochana (in Varanasi).



कपालमोचनं काश्यां यः स्मरेत्तीर्थमुत्तमम् |
इहान्यत्रापि यत्पापं क्षिप्रं तस्य प्रणश्यति || 60 ||
One who remembers the wonderful tirtha (place of pilgrimage) Kapalamochanam in Varanasi in this world or other worlds, his sins quickly get destroyed.
