अविमुक्तं महालिंगं दृष्ट्वा ग्रामांतरं व्रजेत् । लब्धाशुकार्यसंसिद्धिं क्षेमेण प्रविशेद्गृहम्
avimuktaṃ mahāliṃgaṃ dṛṣṭvā grāmāṃtaraṃ vrajet | labdhāśukāryasaṃsiddhiṃ kṣemeṇa praviśedgṛham
Nachdem man das große Liṅga von Avimukta geschaut hat, mag man in ein anderes Dorf weiterziehen; rasch erlangt man Erfolg im Vorhaben und kehrt heil und wohlbehalten ins Haus zurück.

Scene: A pilgrim, having bowed to the Avimukta Mahāliṅga, steps out of the shrine toward a village road; behind, the sanctum glows; ahead, the path opens, symbolizing swift success and safe homecoming.
A single sincere darśana of Avimukta’s great Liṅga is portrayed as spiritually potent and practically auspicious—granting success and protection.
Avimukta in Kāśī, centered on the Mahāliṅga of Avimukteśvara.
Darśana (visiting and seeing) the Avimukta Mahāliṅga; the verse frames it as a pilgrim’s auspicious stop before continuing travel.
