चंद्रेश्वरे कृतं सर्वं तदानंत्याय जायते । अन्यच्च ते प्रवक्ष्यामि शृणु गुह्यं कलानिधे
caṃdreśvare kṛtaṃ sarvaṃ tadānaṃtyāya jāyate | anyacca te pravakṣyāmi śṛṇu guhyaṃ kalānidhe
Alles, was für Candreśvara getan wird, wird zur Quelle unendlichen Verdienstes. Und noch etwas will ich dir sagen: Höre dieses Geheimnis, o Soma, Schatz der Strahlen.
Śiva (Maheśāna)
Tirtha: Candreśvara (Kāśī)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Soma (Candra)
Scene: A teacher-figure addressing Soma: Candreśvara liṅga glowing in the sanctum, a scroll-like aura suggesting ‘secret teaching’; devotees offering lamps and flowers, the sense of limitless merit radiating outward.
Service to the deity in a famed Kāśī shrine yields inexhaustible spiritual fruit.
Candreśvara-liṅga in Kāśī, explicitly praised for granting ‘endless’ merit.
No single rite is newly prescribed; the verse generalizes that all acts done for Candreśvara become ananta-phala.
