talliṃgamiti jānīhi prabhāse surasuṃdari | nirāvakāśarahitaṃ śabdaṃ śabdāṃtagocaram
يا حسناءَ الآلهة، اعلمي أن ذلك في برابهاسا هو «اللِّينغا»؛ متعالٍ عن الامتداد المكاني، ومع ذلك يُدرَك بوصفه المعنى الباطن للصوت، بالغًا إلى نهاية الألفاظ ومتجاوزًا لها.

Tirtha: Prabhāsa-liṅga
Type: kshetra
Listener: Surasundarī (addressed as ‘sur-sundarī’)
Scene: A goddess-like celestial listener (‘surasundarī’) is addressed; the liṅga appears as a luminous void-point, while mantra syllables dissolve into a subtle radiance—sound becoming silence.
