yamaliṃgaṃ ca duṣkarṇe kapālī karavīrake | jāgeśvare triśūlī ca śrīśaile tripurāṃtakam
في دُشْكَرْنَة يُوقَّر باسم يَمَلِينْغَ، وفي كَرَڤِيرَكَ باسم كَپَالِي (حامل الجمجمة). وفي جاغيشڤارا هو تريشُولِي (حامل الرمح الثلاثي)، وفي شريشَيْلَ يُسبَّح باسم تريپورَانْتَكَ (مُهلك تريپورا).
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Duṣkarṇa (Yamaliṅga); Karavīraka (Kapālī); Jāgeśvara (Triśūlī); Śrīśaila (Tripurāntaka)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A dynamic sequence: at Duṣkarṇa a mysterious twin-liṅga (Yamaliṅga) under stormy sky; at Karavīraka Śiva as Kapālī with skull-bowl and ash, surrounded by cremation-ground symbolism; at Jāgeśvara Śiva as Triśūlī holding trident amid Himalayan deodars; at Śrīśaila Tripurāntaka aiming the cosmic arrow, Tripura’s three cities aflame in the distance, yet devotees sheltered in a calm foreground.
The tīrthas recall Śiva’s protective power against evil (Tripurāntaka) and his renunciate symbolism (Kapālī), inspiring fearlessness and detachment.
Duṣkarṇa, Karavīraka, Jāgeśvara, and Śrīśaila.
No explicit rite; the verse primarily identifies how Śiva is to be invoked at each site.
