सूत उवाच । एवं प्रभावं लिंगं तु देवदेवस्य शूलिनः । भवद्भिः परिपृष्टं यददित्या स्थापितं पुरा
sūta uvāca | evaṃ prabhāvaṃ liṃgaṃ tu devadevasya śūlinaḥ | bhavadbhiḥ paripṛṣṭaṃ yadadityā sthāpitaṃ purā
Sūta sprach: „So groß ist die Macht des Liṅga des Śūlin, des Gottes der Götter—wonach ihr gefragt habt—jenes Liṅga, das einst von Aditi errichtet wurde.“
Sūta
Tirtha: Amara-liṅga (liṅga of Śūlin)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis (inquirers)
Scene: Sūta seated in a forest-assembly narrates; behind him, a visionary tableau of Aditi establishing a radiant Śiva-liṅga, with devas witnessing.
The sanctity of a liṅga is rooted in divine establishment and its enduring spiritual potency.
A Nāgarakhaṇḍa tīrtha centered on the liṅga established by Aditi; the broader passage celebrates its site-specific greatness.
No direct prescription; it introduces the origin-account (sambhava) that grounds later devotional practice.
