यानि कानि च तीर्थानि चासमुद्रसरांसि च । शिवलिङ्गार्चनस्येह कलां नार्हन्ति षोडशीम्
yāni kāni ca tīrthāni cāsamudrasarāṃsi ca | śivaliṅgārcanasyeha kalāṃ nārhanti ṣoḍaśīm
Quels que soient les tīrthas, quels que soient les lacs et les eaux —jusqu’à la mer— ils ne valent pas même un seizième du mérite qu’on obtient ici en adorant le liṅga de Śiva.
Skanda (deduced, Revā Khaṇḍa māhātmya emphasis)
Tirtha: Revā-tīrtha with Śiva-liṅga arcana focus (name not specified in the verse)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A radiant Śiva-liṅga on the riverbank receives abhiṣeka; surrounding it are symbolic representations of many tīrthas and seas shown as smaller, humbled forms, indicating they are not equal to even a fraction of this worship’s merit.
Devotional worship (arcana) at a consecrated Śaiva kṣetra is presented as superior to general pilgrimage merit.
The local kṣetra of this chapter—centered on Śiva-liṅga worship near Revā–Kumbheśvara.
Śiva-liṅga arcana (liṅga worship) is recommended as the foremost practice at this place.
