अर्चंति विश्वे विश्वेशं विश्वेशोर्चति विश्वकृत् । अविमुक्तेश्वरं लिंगं भुविमुक्तिप्रदायकम्
arcaṃti viśve viśveśaṃ viśveśorcati viśvakṛt | avimukteśvaraṃ liṃgaṃ bhuvimuktipradāyakam
The Viśvedevas worship Viśveśa, Lord of the Universe, and Viśveśa—the Maker of the universe—(in turn) worships. The Avimukteśvara Liṅga bestows liberation even while one is on earth.

Tirtha: Avimukteśvara-liṅga (Avimukta-kṣetra) associated with Viśveśa
Type: kshetra
Listener: null
Scene: The Viśvedevas offer worship to Viśveśa; in a paradoxical cosmic tableau, Viśveśa as world-maker is shown ‘worshipping’ (honoring) the Avimukteśvara liṅga, signifying supreme sanctity; a pilgrim receives a halo of ‘earthly liberation’.
Avimukteśvara is exalted as so supreme that even divine beings revere Him, and His grace yields liberation in embodied life.
Kāśī’s Avimukta-kṣetra, particularly the Avimukteśvara Liṅga and the lordship of Viśveśa.
Worship (arcana) is implied, but no detailed ritual steps are specified.
