व्योम्नि संचरमाणेन सप्ताश्वेनादिकेशवः । एकदा दर्शिभावेन पूजयंल्लिंगमैश्वरम्
vyomni saṃcaramāṇena saptāśvenādikeśavaḥ | ekadā darśibhāvena pūjayaṃlliṃgamaiśvaram
Ādikeśava, porté dans le ciel par Celui aux sept chevaux, un jour—saisi du désir de voir—adora le Liṅga souverain d’Īśvara.
Skanda (narration continues)
Tirtha: Aiśvara Liṅga (within Kāśī narrative frame)
Type: temple
Scene: A cosmic tableau: the seven-horsed Sun-chariot traverses the sky; Ādikeśava appears in divine radiance, descending to worship a majestic Śiva-liṅga, with Kāśī’s sacred skyline below.
Devotion transcends sectarian boundaries: Vaiṣṇava reverence can culminate in worship of Śiva’s liṅga for divine vision.
The Kāśī setting is implied by the adhyāya context, as the Keśavāditya māhātmya unfolds within Vārāṇasī.
Liṅga-pūjā (worship of Īśvara’s liṅga) motivated by darśana (seeking divine vision).
