नाशकं पुण्यपापाख्यकाष्ठानां दहनोपमम् । इदं रामेश्वरं लिंगं ख्यातं लोके भविष्यति
nāśakaṃ puṇyapāpākhyakāṣṭhānāṃ dahanopamam | idaṃ rāmeśvaraṃ liṃgaṃ khyātaṃ loke bhaviṣyati
Ce liṅga, Rāmeśvara, deviendra célèbre dans le monde : il détruira mérite et péché, tel un feu consumant le bois.
Sages (Munis/Brāhmaṇas)
Tirtha: Rāmeśvara
Type: kshetra
Scene: The Rāmeśvara liṅga is envisioned as a blazing yet cool spiritual fire, consuming the ‘wood’ of both merit and sin; pilgrims stand in awe as the liṅga’s radiance symbolizes karma-kṣaya.
Liberation transcends the ledger of merit and sin; the highest tīrtha burns both, like fire consuming all fuel.
Rāmeśvaram (Rāmeśvara liṅga) is explicitly foretold as world-famous within Setu-khaṇḍa.
Implicitly, worship/darśana of Rāmeśvara liṅga is presented as a powerful purifier leading toward vimukti.
