हाटकेश्वर संज्ञं तु पूर्वमासीद्द्विजोत्तमाः । तत्क्षेत्रं प्रथितं लोके सर्वपातकनाशनम्
hāṭakeśvara saṃjñaṃ tu pūrvamāsīddvijottamāḥ | tatkṣetraṃ prathitaṃ loke sarvapātakanāśanam
Oh, los mejores de los dos veces nacidos: antaño llevaba el nombre de Hāṭakeśvara; y ese campo sagrado es célebre en el mundo como destructor de todo pecado.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa)
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Brāhmaṇas/ṛṣis
Scene: A venerable Śiva-kṣetra with an ancient liṅga; an inscription or oral proclamation that the place was once called Hāṭakeśvara; pilgrims receiving the promise of sin-destruction.
A kṣetra sanctified by divine presence becomes a universal remedy for pāpa; fame here signals enduring spiritual efficacy.
The kṣetra formerly known as Hāṭakeśvara, praised as sarva-pātaka-nāśana.
No explicit rite; the implied practice is tīrtha-yātrā (pilgrimage) to the kṣetra for purification.
