Śrāddha-kalpa: Amarakantaka–Tīrtha-Māhātmya and Akṣaya Pitṛ-Tarpaṇa
महालये पदं न्यस्तं महादेवेन धीमता / भूतानामनुकंपार्थं नास्तिकानां निदर्शनम्
mahālaye padaṃ nyastaṃ mahādevena dhīmatā / bhūtānāmanukaṃpārthaṃ nāstikānāṃ nidarśanam
In Mahālaya, the wise Mahādeva set down his sacred footprint—out of compassion for the bhūtas, and as a sign for the faithless.
