ये केचिद्रोगिणो लोके तेषां तद्भेषजं महत् । माघमासे द्वितीयायां दर्शनं तस्य दुर्लभम्
ye kecidrogiṇo loke teṣāṃ tadbheṣajaṃ mahat | māghamāse dvitīyāyāṃ darśanaṃ tasya durlabham
لِمَن في العالم من المرضى جميعًا، فذلك لهم دواءٌ عظيم. غير أنّ نيل الدَّرْشَنَة (darśana، المشاهدة المقدّسة) في اليوم القمري الثاني من شهر ماغها نادر المنال.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Aśvineśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A line of sick pilgrims seeking relief; the shrine stands radiant; a calendar motif indicates Māgha month and dvitīyā tithi; the crowd suggests the difficulty/rarity of obtaining darśana on that day.
Sacred time (tithi and month) intensifies the fruit of sacred place; rare timing heightens the value of darśana.
Aśvineśvara in Prabhāsakṣetra, praised as a ‘medicine’ for the afflicted.
Seek darśana especially on Māgha śukla/kr̥ṣṇa Dvitīyā (the second lunar day), implying a calendrical vrata-like observance.
