Dharmānukathana
Narration of Dharma
यद् दत्वा मोक्षमाप्नोति लिङ्गदानं तथा स्मृतम् । ब्रह्माण्डकोटिदानेन यत्फलं लभते नरः ॥ १०३ ॥
yad datvā mokṣamāpnoti liṅgadānaṃ tathā smṛtam | brahmāṇḍakoṭidānena yatphalaṃ labhate naraḥ || 103 ||
العطية التي بنيلها يُدرك المرء الموكشا تُذكر على أنها هبة اللِّنگا. وهي تمنح نفس الثواب الذي يناله الإنسان لو تصدّق بكُروراتٍ من البراهماṇḍا، أي عوالمَ كاملة.
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in the Moksha-oriented discourse)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: adbhuta (wonder)
Secondary Rasa: shanta (peace)
It elevates liṅga-dāna as an exceptionally potent act of dāna, declaring it capable of leading to moksha and equating its merit with unimaginably vast cosmic gifts.
By praising the gifting of a sacred emblem (liṅga) as moksha-giving, the verse frames devotional reverence expressed through ritual generosity as a direct spiritual means, not merely a social virtue.
Ritual application (kalpa-oriented practice) is implied: the verse focuses on dāna-vidhi and dāna-phala—how a prescribed sacred gift, given with faith and right intent, is taught to yield specific spiritual results.
