Nīlakaṇṭha-nāmotpatti-kathana
Origin of the Epithet “Nīlakaṇṭha”
ततो मामब्रवीद्ब्रह्मा अधो गच्छ त्वमाशु वै / अन्तमस्य विजानीवो लिङ्गस्य तु महात्मनः
tato māmabravīdbrahmā adho gaccha tvamāśu vai / antamasya vijānīvo liṅgasya tu mahātmanaḥ
Then Brahmā said to me, “Go swiftly downward and ascertain the end of that Liṅga of the Great Soul.”
