Agastya
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (Hāṭakeśvara/Agastya-āśrama vicinity)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Interlocutors/pilgrims
Scene: Pilgrims bathing reverently at a sacred water spot in Prabhāsa, then turning toward a Śiva-liṅga shrine; a subtle underworld-to-earth emergence motif suggests the liṅga’s descent from Pātāla.
Proper tīrtha-snān and recognition of Śiva’s presence lead toward the highest spiritual attainment.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra—Hāṭakeśvara’s vicinity, where the liṅga-form of Maheśvara is praised.
