कपालेशस्य सांनिध्ये शक्तिच्छिद्रं हि कीर्त्यते । तस्य तुल्यं परं तीर्थं पृथिव्यां नैव विद्यते
kapāleśasya sāṃnidhye śakticchidraṃ hi kīrtyate | tasya tulyaṃ paraṃ tīrthaṃ pṛthivyāṃ naiva vidyate
In der unmittelbaren Gegenwart Kapāleśvaras wird das Tīrtha namens Śakticchidra verkündet. Auf Erden findet sich keine andere höchste Pilgerstätte, die ihm gleichkäme.
Maheśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Śakticchidra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Skanda
Scene: A grand view of Kapāleśvara temple with the adjacent Śakticchidra tīrtha marked by a sacred pool/ghāṭa; a divine radiance links liṅga and water, visually asserting ‘no equal on earth’.
Proximity to a powerful Śiva-liṅga sanctifies the landscape, creating a uniquely transformative tīrtha.
Śakticchidra tīrtha, specifically stated to be near Kapāleśvara.
No new rite is added here; the verse chiefly magnifies the site’s incomparable sanctity.
