कृत्तिवासं समाराध्य भक्तियुक्तेन चेतसा । सर्वलिंगाराधनजं फलं काश्यामवाप्यते
kṛttivāsaṃ samārādhya bhaktiyuktena cetasā | sarvaliṃgārādhanajaṃ phalaṃ kāśyāmavāpyate
En vénérant Kṛttivāsa avec un esprit uni à la bhakti, on obtient à Kāśī le fruit issu du culte de tous les liṅgas.
Skanda (deduced, Kāśī-khaṇḍa context: Skanda to Agastya)
Tirtha: Kṛttivāseśa/Kṛttivāsa (Kāśī)
Type: temple
Listener: Sage interlocutor
Scene: A devotee with folded hands and offerings (bilva, water, lamp) before the Kṛttivāseśa liṅga; behind, faint silhouettes of many other liṅgas dissolve into a single radiant aura, indicating ‘all-liṅga fruit’ contained here.
Focused devotion at a supremely sanctified shrine can equal the merit of extensive worship elsewhere.
The shrine of Kṛttivāsa/Kṛttivāseśvara in Kāśī.
