Près de Kapāleśvara se trouve la Déesse nommée Kāpālikeśvarī. Là, dans la partie nord de ce lieu, on montre ce qu’on appelle « Śakti-chidra », la fissure ou ouverture de la Śakti.
Narrator
Tirtha: Kapāleśvara-sānnidhya: Kāpālikeśvarī and Śakti-chidra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A compact shrine area: Kapāleśvara liṅga nearby; Devī Kāpālikeśvarī stands radiant; to the north, sages point to a fissure in the earth glowing subtly—Śakti-chidra.
Pilgrimage is also remembrance through place—named shrines and directional markers preserve divine presence in geography.
Kapāleśvara’s vicinity is mapped with Kāpālikeśvarī and the northern landmark called Śakti-chidra.
No explicit rite is prescribed here; the verse functions as a sthala-map, identifying shrines and a sacred landmark for darśana.
