यत्तल्लिंगं महापुण्यं मुक्तिं दास्यति शाश्वतीम । अस्य लिंगस्य ये भक्तास्तान्दृष्ट्वा सूर्यनंदनः
yattalliṃgaṃ mahāpuṇyaṃ muktiṃ dāsyati śāśvatīma | asya liṃgasya ye bhaktāstāndṛṣṭvā sūryanaṃdanaḥ
Ce liṅga est d’un très grand mérite et accordera la délivrance éternelle. Quant aux dévots de ce liṅga—en les voyant, le Fils du Soleil (Yama)…
Maheśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Narmadeśvara
Type: kshetra
Scene: A radiant liṅga emanates light; devotees stand serene; Yama, the Sun’s son, approaches with folded hands, bowing in reverence rather than fearsome judgment.
Devotion to a sanctified Śiva-liṅga is portrayed as a direct cause of liberation.
The Narmadeśvara liṅga associated with Narmadā is glorified.
Implicitly, bhakti (devotional worship) to the Narmadeśvara liṅga.
