यत्तल्लिंगं महापुण्यं मुक्तिं दास्यति शाश्वतीम । अस्य लिंगस्य ये भक्तास्तान्दृष्ट्वा सूर्यनंदनः
yattalliṃgaṃ mahāpuṇyaṃ muktiṃ dāsyati śāśvatīma | asya liṃgasya ye bhaktāstāndṛṣṭvā sūryanaṃdanaḥ
Jener Liṅga ist von höchstem Verdienst und wird ewige Befreiung schenken. Und die Verehrer dieses Liṅga—wenn der Sohn der Sonne (Yama) sie erblickt…
Maheśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Narmadeśvara
Type: kshetra
Scene: A radiant liṅga emanates light; devotees stand serene; Yama, the Sun’s son, approaches with folded hands, bowing in reverence rather than fearsome judgment.
Devotion to a sanctified Śiva-liṅga is portrayed as a direct cause of liberation.
The Narmadeśvara liṅga associated with Narmadā is glorified.
Implicitly, bhakti (devotional worship) to the Narmadeśvara liṅga.
