पिंडीयुक्तं च शास्त्रेण विधिना च यजेच्छिवम् । वरदो हि जगन्नाथः पूजकस्य न चान्यथा
piṃḍīyuktaṃ ca śāstreṇa vidhinā ca yajecchivam | varado hi jagannāthaḥ pūjakasya na cānyathā
Man soll Śiva nach der Śāstra, nach vorgeschriebener Ordnung und mit der Piṇḍī (dem heiligen Sockel des Liṅga) verehren. Denn der Herr des Weltalls ist dem Verehrer ein Spender von Gaben—und nicht anders.
