यस्य प्रसिद्धिरतुला वृद्धिलिंगमिति द्विजाः । यस्य दर्शनमात्रेण मुच्यते सर्वपातकैः
yasya prasiddhiratulā vṛddhiliṃgamiti dvijāḥ | yasya darśanamātreṇa mucyate sarvapātakaiḥ
يا معشرَ ذوي الولادتين، إن شهرته لا تُضاهى باسم «فِرِدّهي-لِنغا»؛ وبمجرد رؤيته يُعتَق المرء من جميع الآثام.
Prahlāda (continuing narration, addressing dvijāḥ within the discourse)
Tirtha: Vṛddhiliṅga
Type: kshetra
Listener: Dvija-s (twice-born)
Scene: A revered liṅga shrine named Vṛddhiliṅga, approached by brāhmaṇas and pilgrims; the liṅga radiates sanctity, suggesting instant purification through sight.
Purāṇic tīrtha theology holds that darśana of a supremely sanctified liṅga can dissolve accumulated pāpa when approached with reverence.
The renowned Vṛddhiliṅga (associated with the Indrapada/Indreśvara sacred complex) within the Dvārakā Māhātmya.
Darśana (seeing) of the Vṛddhiliṅga is itself stated as the efficacious act.
