स शप्तो डिंडिरूपस्तु भवद्भिः करणेश्वरः । तच्छापाच्छप्तमेवैतत्समस्तं तद्गुणास्पदम् । देवतिर्यङ्मनुष्याणां निरानंदमिति स्थितम्
sa śapto ḍiṃḍirūpastu bhavadbhiḥ karaṇeśvaraḥ | tacchāpācchaptamevaitatsamastaṃ tadguṇāspadam | devatiryaṅmanuṣyāṇāṃ nirānaṃdamiti sthitam
إنَّ كَرَṇيِشْوَرَ—وقد تَجَلّى في هيئة «Ḍiṃḍi»—قد لُعِنَ من قِبَلِكم. وبسبب تلك اللعنة عينِها صار هذا الإقليم كلُّه، المعتمد عليه وعلى صفاته، ملعونًا؛ فغدت الآلهة والبهائم والبشر مقيمين في حالٍ من انعدام الفرح.

Tirtha: Karaṇeśvara
Type: temple
Scene: Karaṇeśvara appears in a Ḍiṃḍi-form (a specific, possibly drum-associated or grotesque/guardian-like manifestation); sages/dvijas curse him, and the consequence spreads as a pall of joylessness over gods, animals, and humans—an allegory of a cursed spiritual ecosystem.
Śiva-aparādha or misdirected curses disturb the wider cosmos; individual wrongdoing can create collective suffering.
Prabhāsakṣetra, specifically through the mention of Karaṇeśvara, a Śaiva locus within the sacred region.
None directly; the verse explains the metaphysical consequence that later motivates propitiation.
