शंकुकर्णेश्वरं लिंगं शंकुकर्ण ग णार्चितम् । दृष्ट्वा न जायते जंतुर्जातु मातुर्महोदरे
śaṃkukarṇeśvaraṃ liṃgaṃ śaṃkukarṇa ga ṇārcitam | dṛṣṭvā na jāyate jaṃturjātu māturmahodare
Wer den Liṅga des Śaṃkukarṇeśvara erblickt, verehrt von den Gaṇas des Śaṃkukarṇa, wird niemals wieder im Schoß einer Mutter geboren.
Skanda (deduced from Kāśīkhaṇḍa dialogue context)
Tirtha: Śaṃkukarṇeśvara
Type: temple
Scene: Inside a small Kāśī shrine, the Śaṃkukarṇeśvara liṅga is garlanded; gaṇas (Śiva’s attendants) are depicted in reverent worship around it, while a pilgrim receives a vision of the womb-cycle breaking like a shattered wheel.
Darśana of a revered Kāśī-liṅga is presented as a direct cause for liberation—freedom from repeated birth.
Śaṃkukarṇeśvara-liṅga in Kāśī.
Darśana (sacred viewing) of the liṅga; worship is referenced as performed by Śaṃkukarṇa’s gaṇas.
